Heading into their 85th anniversary after a two-year hiatus, the National Truck Driving Championships return with a high level of excitement and a slate of competitors ready to once again showcase their skills behind the wheel.
Billed as the “Super Bowl of Safety,” the event brings truckers who have proven their mettle in state-level competitions to a national stage. Tournament qualifiers, who will compete in Indianapolis in various vehicle classes Aug. 16-19, said they are eager to display their skills and talents in front of industry enthusiasts, fans, families and friends.
Most of the competitors and volunteers who make up the NTDC family, as they refer to themselves, have not seen each other since COVID-19 suspended the event in 2020 and 2021. Such a pause had not happened since World War II. Going into this year, competitors and organizers point to a new level of enthusiasm.
