This year’s Connecticut Truck Driving Championship was held on June 13 at New England Tractor Trailer Training School. It was a great turnout and mother nature cooperated by providing warm, sunny weather. More than 150 people attended the event and everyone cheered on this year’s competitors.

After a long day of competition, it was great that participants, family, friends and colleagues were able to kick back, relax, and enjoy themselves with a catered barbeque from the Outback Steakhouse and live music from the band Room to Move.

The winners of this competition represent the best in the state. To achieve this position, drivers must maintain a superior driving record, demonstrate safe driving practices, have a solid understanding of their vehicle and the rules and regulations governing the industry, and demonstrate professionalism as they travel our roadways.

The Connecticut Truck Driving Championship is lucky to have so many volunteers giving of their time for this event. Thank you for helping us recognize and appreciate the men and women who are Connecticut’s professional truck drivers.

A special thank you to Roland Bolduc, Jim Hosey, Ron Newman, Ben Zadrozny, Dale Wilson, Bill Vendetta, Tim Carlin, Dodie Garvey, Karen Roderick, Scott Matta, Gerry Duchene, Dave Bryant, Mindy Demars, Maggie Griffin, Debbie Moniz, Karen Tierney, Rick Sweeney, Bruce Spero, Desiree Brown, Ken Harrison, Patty Harrison, Ernie Wood, Brenda Wood, Pete Clerkin, Joe Cnare, Kevin Logue, and Peter Soulsby.

No other industry impacts our daily lives as profoundly as the trucking industry and the professional truck drivers who “keep things moving!” We are grateful to the many volunteers and sponsors who go above and beyond to honor these professionals and make the championship a success each year.

We are already starting to prepare for next year’s event, which we plan to make bigger and better than this year. We hope we can count on your participation and generosity to help make it happen. Drive Safely – See you next year!
