     Make plans NOW to enter your company�s best drivers in the 2008 Wyoming Truck Driving Championship. Recognition of safe driving pays dividends through improved morale and increased driver awareness of safe operations.

     A driver is eligible if he or she is based or dispatched in Wyoming, has been employed for the past twelve months by the same employer and has not been involved in an accident for the past twelve consecutive months.

     Competition will be in eight official classes: straight truck; three, four and five-axle tractor-semi trailer; five-axle flatbed, five-axle tank trucks; sleeper berth and twin trailers. Winners of the official classes will be eligible to represent Wyoming at the American Trucking Association National Championships, August 19-23, 2008 in Houston, Texas.

     The first three places in each class will receive trophies. Belt buckles will be awarded to the first place winners in each class. Awards will also be given for highest overall score; high individual scores in personal interview; pre-trip inspections; skills test and written exam; Rookie of the Year and a team trophy (three drivers designated from one company). Companies may enter as many drivers per class as they choose.

     Last year, the championship had twenty-four drivers compete � we want to continue this event with more participation every year. Not only will this be an opportunity for your drivers to compete with their peers, it will be an excellent time for the trucking industry to go public with its �cream of the crop�.
