OTA Summer 2016

Issue 3, Summer 2016

DESPITE THE HIGH CHANCE OF RAIN,

OTA’s annual Oregon Truck Driving

Championship attracted over 90 of the safest truck drivers in the state. Each

individual competed on the course hosted by FedEx Freight at their new

ground facility in Portland, OR on Saturday, June 11, 2016. Friends, family, and

coworkers came to cheer on the contestants while our hard working volunteers

took score during each phase of the competition. Drivers were required to

complete a written exam, a pre-trip check to catch special circumstance issues,

and an actual driving assessment on an expert-designed course to gain as many

points as possible. Although there were plenty of seasoned drivers and

recurring companies, we were also greeted by fresh faces eager to challenge

winners of years prior.
