FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) has announced that 138 drivers from 45 states representing its operating companies will compete in the National Truck Driving Championships (NTDC) in Pittsburgh, August 12-16.
Each FedEx driver earned the right to compete in the NTDC by winning at state-level truck driving championships.
The American Trucking Associations (ATA) sponsors the NTDC, which is designed to recognize industry leadership in safety and to promote professionalism among truck drivers.
According to FedEx, 1,500 of the company’s team members qualified to compete at the state level and of those, 138 finalists are competing at the national level.
At the NTDC, the FedEx drivers will be among nearly 450 competitors who will vie for national titles in nine different classes of vehicles and for the National Grand Champion title. Drivers accumulate points by demonstrating their driving skills and knowledge of the industry through a written exam, pre-trip inspection and driving-skills challenge.
