Are You Ready? 2026 State TDC Schedule Is Rolling
May 1, 2026

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