Roland Bolduc: NTDC’s King of All Media Keeps Rolling

A PodWheels Column

A brief moment of self-promotion from NTDC podcast headquarters: Our correspondent Roland Bolduc continues to deliver.

Roland & Friend

Bolduc, a two-time National Truck Driving Championships grand champion (2017, 2022), is producing regular content for the platform through his series, Rollin’ with Roland. The show features in-depth conversations with NTDC competitors, along with reflections on the behind-the-scenes moments that shape the precision-driving competition.

“I enjoy Rollin’ with Roland because I like talking about Truck Driving Championships, and my blood relatives are tired of hearing about it,” Bolduc told PodWheels. “My NTDC family loves the subject.”

Bolduc said he especially values the opportunity to spotlight competitors’ backgrounds and perspectives. “I like hearing competitors’ stories — what makes them who they are and how they think,” he said.

Bolduc is co-founder of New England’s Roadeo Research and Development Facility and a longtime TDC and NTDC competitor. He appears on the cover of NTDC’s first history book, published in 2023, and was featured prominently in a recent American Trucking Associations documentary that chronicled his career at FedEx Express.

For those reasons — and a few others — Bolduc has earned a familiar nickname within the NTDC community: the King of All NTDC Media. That’s all for this week. Send updates or say “hi” at [email protected]. And remember: “I’ll see you at the top.”
