Roadway Express proudly announces that, to date, ten of our drivers have qualified for the National Truck Driving Championships (NTDC). Roadway expects more to qualify by the time the competition is held in August. Each year the American Trucking Associations (ATA) Safety & Loss Prevention Management Council sponsors the NTCD, known to many as the "Super Bowl of Safety."
Held from Tuesday, August 16 to Saturday, August 20, 2005, at the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, Florida, this will be the 68th year for the NTDC competition. The Tampa Marriott Waterside is the primary 2005 NTDC hotel.
