Title: truckdriving championship
Post by: Josh B on June 21, 2015, 04:56:18 pm

I just competed in the 2015 Kansas truckdriving championship.  This is my second year competing in the tanker class and I won second place.  I'll be concentrating on training for next years competition with my sights set on 1st place.  First place in each class qualifies for the nationals which is my ultimate goal.  This was a bit tougher than last year and also a bit hotter weather which is evident by the sunburned faces in the pics.  The first pic is of my boss and I and the second pic is just me with my trophy.  Thanks for looking.  Josh

Way to go Josh.  By the look on your bosses face I think right now would be a good time to ask for a week off next year around late April-early May  ;)

Thank you fellas!  I got some pretty good chuckles reading through your comments.  The driving part of the competition was pretty close to last years difficulty level, but the written test was much, much harder.  After taking the test, I was pretty sure that I was out of the running.  Apparently, the test kicked everyone else's butt as well.  I have a lot of work to do before next years competition, but my goal is to win state and go to nationals.  The nationals are pretty much the trucking industry's version of the superbowl.  Thanks again!  Josh

Thanks fellas!  I just got word from the boss that he wants to put together a team for the Missouri truck driving championship next year and he wants me to coach them.  I don't know how that's going to work.  I don't get home enough as it is. :-\  Josh
