About
The Alabama Truck Driving Championships is an annual event that showcases the skills and expertise of professional truck drivers in the state of Alabama. The event is organized by the Alabama Trucking Association and is open to truck drivers who are members of the association. During the championships, drivers compete in a series of challenges that test their driving skills, knowledge of safety regulations, and ability to navigate through obstacles. The challenges typically include a written exam, a pre-trip inspection, a driving skills test, and a timed obstacle course. The winners of the Alabama Truck Driving Championships are eligible to compete in the National Truck Driving Championships, which are held annually by the American Trucking Associations. The event is an opportunity for drivers to showcase their skills and represent their state at a national level.
Who Can Compete
To compete in the Alabama Truck Driving Championships, a person must be a professional truck driver based or working for an Alabama-based fleet. Typically, drivers who participate in the competition work for trucking companies or as owner-operators and have a commercial driver’s license (CDL). Drivers for non-ATA members are welcome to compete but only once, after that, they must drive for a member firm.
There are also specific eligibility requirements for each competition category. For example, some categories may require a certain amount of driving experience, a clean driving record, or specific endorsements on the driver’s CDL. These requirements are designed to ensure that only the most qualified and experienced drivers compete in each category. Check the registration packet below for more information.
