It’s been exactly 20 years since Wayne Crowder became the one (and still only) person to win the National Grand Championship as a “rookie-rookie.” In this conversation with Jimmy Mac of the Dave Nemo Show, Wayne shares his remarkable journey in the truck driving championships, from his unexpected entry at the state level to achieving an incredible accomplishment on the national stage. Wayne also looks back on the impact of being involved in the competition in terms of sharpening driving skills and the focus on safety. You’ll hear Wayne reflect on the camaraderie among drivers and how the experiences at the NTDC have translated into real-world applications. Planning to close out his career this December, Wayne notes his future plans post-retirement, including road trips and staying in shape, emphasizing the importance of physical and mental sharpness in his profession.
