The weather was perfect, the drivers were hyped, and we all had a great time hosting our 1st Annual Truck Driving Championship!

Represented were drivers from various divisions, locations, and tenure - a true cross section of our fleet. These professionals were assessed on thier pre-trip inspections, written knowledge test, and driving course.

Thank you to our sponsors: ISAAC Instruments, Stoops Freightliner - Western Star & Stoops Trailers, SureCam, and TrueNorth.

Congrats to the challengers and to our overall champion, T.J. Drakeford from our Glenwood, IL terminal!
