Truck Driving Competition in Montana

In Helena this last weekend, Motor Carriers of Montana put on their annual truck driving championships. Drivers from all over Montana attended this competition to demonstrate their driving skills using a variety of sizes in commercial vehicles. Some of the skills demonstrated included; tight 90-degree turns, turning around barrels, and precise parking.

Along with driving skills, safety was also a major factor during the weekend’s events. Simulations were set up for the public so the they can see what a trucker can see in their cab when it came to blind spots. Drivers were also asked to do inspections and take a written test. The winners will move on to the National Trucking Driving Championships later this year.
