JUNE 13-15, 2024
OCEAN CENTER, DAYTONA BEACH
Florida Trucking Association hosts its annual Florida Truck Driving Championships (TDC) as an effort to recognize the best professional drivers in the state and allow them to competitively represent their companies. No matter what company you drive for, when you participate in TDC, we all come together as “One Team Florida” to represent the best in the state – and country. Class winners go on to the 2024 ATA National Competition in Indianapolis, Indiana.
TDC is open to the public and family-friendly. We encourage people to learn more about the trucking industry and watch some of the best professional truck drivers show off their skills at the Ocean Center. For groups interested in scheduling a tour or media inquiries, please contact Alix Miller at alix@floridatrucking.org
