Are You Ready? 2026 State TDC Schedule Is Set
February 16, 2026

The countdown toward the Road To Pittsburgh and NTDC 2026 is underway as the schedule for the State Truck Driving Championships is set for the 49 states that will be sending champions to compete in the Steel City this August. The state of Texas will have the honor of batting in the leadoff spot when the Texas Trucking Association holds the first of its state’s three regional TDC competitions in San Antonio, March 20-21. Arizona, meanwhile, will be the first state to send a group of State Champions on the Road To Pittsburgh when the State Association holds its TDC on March 28th in Tempe.

PodWheels would like to thank the American Trucking Associations and the NTDC Organizing Committee for providing the 2026 State TDC Schedule to share with you through this post. If you would like to get more information about the TDC in your state, just click on the individual listings in the State Category. We have provided a link to the State Association hosting that TDC. Also, on many of the listings, the link will take you to the page with the latest information on that particular TDC. If we learn of any changes to the State TDC schedule, we will update these listings when the information becomes available.
