For the next installment in our 2025 National Champions’ Series, we place Mississippi’s Stephen Johnson in the spotlight. Recorded in mid-October, Stephen reflects on the experience of winning the NTDC 2025 title in the 4-Axle Class. A veteran driver with FedEx Freight, Stephen called upon his initial experience at the Nationals in 2023 to help prepare him for success in Minneapolis this past summer. Cheered on by his wife and daughter while also enjoying the support of Team FedEx, which included 2024 National Grand Champion Jackie Reed (who is his training partner from Mississippi), Stephen put it all together to realize the dream of winning a National Championship.
