Each year, the NTDC Organizing Committee makes a visit to the host site for the National Championships months ahead of the event taking place. This year, the NTDC Organizing Committee circled mid-March as the date to visit the Minneapolis Convention Center to conduct a “pre-trip” inside the facility, hold planning meetings and tour the immediate area that will be the home for the 2025 National Truck Driving and National Step Van Driving Championships. Transport Topics Senior Reporter Eugene Mulero also made the trip to Minneapolis and he was able to interview seven members of the NTDC Organizing Committee for this edition of the podcast.

In addition to taking you inside the Organizing Committee’s Minneapolis “Pre-Trip,” this episode of the podcast also shares the news of a collaboration between PodWheels and the American Trucking Associations. As you will hear in the first section of the show, the NTDC 2025 Podcast Series has been selected by ATA to serve as the Official Podcast of NTDC 2025.
