Holland Atlanta-based Driver Herschel Evans
2011 and 2008 NTDC
Five-Axle Champion
Every year, the American Trucking Associations sponsor the National Truck Driving Championships (NTDC). The industry’s safest and most-skilled drivers strive to qualify for this challenging competition. For many, it’s a yearly safety goal.
To get there, drivers must be accident-free for one year before the event and place first in their state contest among other eligibility requirements. The NTDC challenges competitors’ driving skills and knowledge of truck safety in three ways: maneuverability test, pretrip inspection and written examination.
Holland drivers will be participating in state truck driving championships from April through June in SC, TN, GA, NC, MI, MN, NY, MO, KS, OH, IN, and IL in hopes of winning a state championship and qualifying for the national championships.
Beyond the competition, the NTDC also brings drivers and their families together for a special week of fellowship and company pride. That’s why most drivers who have attended say it’s one of the highlights of their careers.
