Pittsburgh, PA – Forty-five professional truck drivers have advanced to the finals of the National Truck Driving and Step Van Driving Championships, which are being held this year at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh.
These annual competitions date back to 1937 and inspire thousands of drivers to operate accident-free for the right to compete. This year’s competitors have driven a combined 775 million accident-free miles throughout their careers.
“Over the past several days, these professional drivers have demonstrated the skill, discipline, and commitment to safety that define the very best of our industry,” said Heath Arnold, NTDC Chairman. “Every competitor who earned a place at NTDC should be immensely proud of that accomplishment. Advancing to this stage requires countless hours of preparation, unwavering professionalism, and a dedication to excellence behind the wheel. We congratulate the finalists who are moving forward and salute every competitor for exemplifying the highest standards of our industry.” (....)
