2025 Louisiana State TDC Results
Once again this year, Louisiana held the honor of conducting the nation’s first State Truck Driving Championship event. The Louisiana State TDC took place February 28 and March 1 in Baton Rogue. Chad Rudesill of FedEx earned his first-ever State TDC Grand Champion trophy. Chad, whose father, Patrick, has enjoyed success at both the state and national levels of competition, took home the championship in the 3-axle division. It was Chad’s overall performance in 3-axle that put him in position to become the first in his family to claim the title of the Louisiana State Grand Champion.
