The American Trucking Associations will hold its National Truck Driving
Championships next week, from Aug. 3 to 7 at the Greater Columbus
Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio.
During the event, 400 top professional truck drivers from all across the
U.S. will compete in the what's considered the "Super Bowl of Safety."
The contestants are state champions (in eight competing classes with an
affiliated competition for step vans) from all 50 states. They have
driven over a half billion accident-free miles in earning the right to
compete in the NTDC.
Drivers will compete for four days, challenging their driving skills,
and knowledge of safety, equipment and the industry. The tests typically
include obstacles like an alley dock, a rear line stop, a side park, a
scales stop, a turn, a front line stop, and straight line driving
through a diminishing clearance.
The National Grand Champion Truck Driver will be announced on Aug. 7,
along with individual champions in each truck class. The state team with
the highest score will also be honored.
