2012 PROVINCIAL TRUCK DRIVING
CHAMPIONSHIPS WRAP-UP-APPROVED

The popular AMTA Truck Driving Championships will take place on June 16 at the Rosenau Transport yard in Calgary with top drivers from across the province competing for prizes and honorary titles. This annual event, hosted by Alberta Motor Transport Association, is regarded by many as the Olympics of trucking.

The competition challenges each driver to demonstrate his or her driving and inspection skills, knowledge and professionalism through a series of rigorous tests. The drivers undergo a written examination, personal interview, pre-trip inspection test and finally, the most visible – the skills test.

Finalists in each of five categories move on to compete at the National Truck Driving Championships which will be held in Moncton, New Brunswick later this year.

“The championships are a great incentive for professional truck drivers to operate safely, because they must be collision-free for at least one year prior to the competition,” says AMTA Executive Director Don Wilson, “Many of the competitors have millions of accident-free driving miles to their credit.”
