The Oregon Truck Driving Championships (ORTDC) showcases the skills and knowledge of Oregon's dedicated truck drivers who keep Oregon's economy moving. OTA's Safety Management Council hosts the annual event that puts the focus on the industry's dedication to keep all drivers safe on the road.
ORTDC is also the opportunity for the public to see exactly what's involved in operating heavy-duty vehicles as drivers move from a written test, through a pre-trip checklist and then finally onto the course. At the end of the day, top performers will be named in each of the nine categories. Winners can go on to represent Oregon at the National Truck Driving Championships.
Friends, family, colleagues and others are invited to help OTA celebrate trucking and all of its essential workers. This event is free and open to the public!
