American Trucking Associations’ Safety Management Council’s 2023 National Truck Driving Championships (NTDC) and National Step Van Driving Championships (NSVDC) are heading to Columbus, OH to find out who will be named the 2023 Grand Champion!

This competition has a long history – dating back to 1937 when it was known as the National Truck Rodeo. The NTDC competitors are made up of the winners in eight classes of competition from 50 State Trucking Associations’ Truck Driving Championships. During the TDC and NTDC competition, each driver has a chance to demonstrate his or her driving and inspection skills, knowledge and professionalism through a series of tests. The drivers undergo a written examination, pre-trip inspection test and finally, the most visible – the skills test. These annual competitions inspire tens of thousands of drivers to operate accident-free for the right to compete. — NTDC 2023
