2024 Truck Driving Championships Results
On May 3-4th, 2024, truckers from all across Tennessee gathered at the FedEx Freight Nashville facility in Antioch, TN for the much-anticipated annual Truck Driving Championships (TDC). Despite the rain, the event unfolded with an electrifying atmosphere as drivers showcased their expertise behind the wheel. We’re thrilled to announce the winners of this year’s competition, who will soon be gearing up to compete in the nationals this fall. You can view the 2024 state champions here.
A special thank you goes out to all our sponsors and companies for submitting their drivers and contributing to the success of this event. Although we are proud to announce this year’s winners, it would be shortsighted not to congratulate everyone who participated in this year’s championships. Just qualifying alone boasts a record of a year of accident-free and “safely keeping Tennessee on the move.” You can click here to view all of this year’s scores.
