In the days prior to winning what would be his 7th career Rhode Island State TDC Grand Championship, Joe Hicks of XPO was being honored on the floor of the Rhode Island State House. Joe heard a proclamation from the Rhode Island Speaker of the House being read to commemorate his National Championship victory in 4-Axle at NTDC 2024.

Alongside Joe at the State Capitol that day was his XPO Service Center Manager Al D’Angelo, who also serves as the Chairman of the Rhode Island Trucking Association. Joining Joe and Al for the ceremony was Chris Maxwell, who is the President and CEO of the Rhode Island Trucking Association. Joe then followed up his big day at the capitol by taking home a State TDC Championship in 4-Axle en route to another State Grand Champion title.

In this episode of the podcast, PodWheels caught up with Chris and Al to take some time to look back at Joe’s big moment at the State House as part of reflecting upon Rhode Island’s experience during the Tri-State Truck Driving Championships.
