Regional & State Championships
The Truck Driving Championships are a project of the TXTA Safety Management Council (SMC) and the local Safety Councils 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 was May 29-30, 2026 in Waco, TX. Team Texas will now go on to the National Championship in Pittsburgh, PA in August 2026.
