ATA to Host Annual Truck Driving Championship at Tempe Diablo Stadium on Saturday, April 13
Annual Event Highlights Safety and Professional Driving Skills
On Saturday, April 13, 2024, the Arizona Trucking Association will host its 50th annual Truck Driving Championship (TDC). A total of 179 professional truck drivers will participate in their respective classes to determine this year’s top truck drivers in Arizona, many of whom have millions of miles of accident-free driving.
The TDC is an excellent opportunity to witness firsthand the safety aspects and skills required for professional truck driving. Participants are tested in three different areas:
- Written Exam: This tests drivers’ knowledge of the industry, first aid, health, wellness, injury prevention, fire safety, general safety, and security.
- Pre-Trip Inspection: Competitors demonstrate their knowledge of equipment through a pre-trip inspection.
- Skills Driving Test: Drivers showcase their skills across six objectives, simulating everyday driving conditions.
