Oregon Truck Driving Championships

The Oregon Truck Driving Championships (ORTDC) showcases the skills and knowledge of Oregon's truck drivers. 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. 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!
