FedEx Freight

If there’s one thing you should know about the National Truck Driving Championships, besides a little friendly competition, it’s how close it brings drivers from all across the nation. Most of the time, they’re running their routes on highways, interstates, and in cities all over the map. For one week every year, though, the NTDC brings them together under one roof to celebrate all that it means to be on the road. Tomorrow, we meet our finalists, watch them compete, and crown the National Grand Champion. But today, we’re proud to see the camaraderie here in Pittsburgh. Keep it up, drivers. #NTDC26

For our Road Team Captains, going the extra mile is second nature.  Alongside their regular routes, this group of model drivers represents FedEx Freight at public events from coast to coast. Over the course of a two-year term, they engage with tens of thousands of students, parents, senior citizens, law enforcement officers, government officials, and transportation professionals to share about our industry and spread safety awareness on the road.  You’ll see them at:  ✔️ Share-the-road presentations ✔️ Touch-a-truck events ✔️ Equipment demonstrations to law enforcement ✔️ American Trucking Associations and state association events ✔️ FedEx Freight events and demonstrations ✔️ And wherever safety calls So, whether they serve on their state Road Teams, America’s Road Team, or on the FedEx Freight Road Team, they’re always out there showing the world what we do and how we do it – and that’s something worth celebrating. 👏

With the National Truck Driving Championships only weeks away, our 111 competing drivers are busy running routes and hitting the books – and the Captain Smith Challenge is their last stop before they head to Pittsburgh.  Named after our late founder Fred Smith, the Captain Smith Challenge is our drivers’ chance to simulate courses, practice skills tests, and celebrate safety with the other FedEx Freight drivers. They not only get a preview of what NTDC has to hold, but it’s also a chance to collect tips from past champions.  We’re proud to see what our state champs bring to the table, and we can’t wait to see who takes home a national title. Good luck, drivers!
