Regional & State Championships
The Truck Driving Championships are a project of the TXTA Safety Management Council (SMC), the local Safety Councils and TXTA Fleet Maintenance Council (FMC) that seek to promote safety and professionalism among commercial drivers. Three regional championships are held in the spring. Drivers are tested on their ability to maneuver and control their vehicles under a number of difficult test situations. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners from each regional championship advance to the state championship. The Texas Truck Driving Championship is May 29-30, 2026 in Waco, TX. Drivers who qualify for the National Championship will travel to Pittsburgh, PA in August 2026.
ATA National Championships
The ATA (American Trucking Associations) National Truck Driving & Step Van Driving Championships will take place August 11–14, 2026, in Pittsburgh, PA. Competition at the national level will include the first-place winners in each class from the state championships. ATA qualification rules for nationals must be met.
