During National Truck Driving Championships, 420 professional truck drivers from all 50 states will compete in St. Louis for 4 days, challenging their driving skills, and knowledge of safety, equipment, and the industry. From 18-wheeler 5-axle sleepers to tank trucks to twin trailers—they will drive a course that recreates situations truck drivers face daily. On August 15, one contestant will drive away as the Bendix National Truck Driving Championships Grand Champion.
