On Thursday of NTDC Week, PodWheels had the opportunity to sit down and have an extended conversation with John Hausladen, who has served as the President & CEO of the Minnesota Trucking Association since 1996. As you will hear in this episode of the podcast, NTDC 2025 marked the fourth time during John’s tenure with the MTA that the Twin Cities have served as the host of the National Championships.

As John shares with the podcast, the dedication to safety and overall professionalism in the face of continual challenges have left an indelible impression upon him across his nearly 30 years in the industry. The people behind the wheel have always inspired John and, during NTDC 2025, he was part of the group of native Minnesotans who welcomed the competitors and everyone supporting them throughout what was a memorable week.
