FLORIDA
TRUCK DRIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS

JUNE 15-17, 2023
OCEAN CENTER, DAYTONA BEACH

Registration for this event is now open

Florida Trucking Association hosts its annual Florida Truck Driving Championships (TDC) as an effort to recognize the best professional drivers in the state and allow them to competitively represent their companies. No matter what company you drive for, when you participate in TDC, we all come together as “One Team Florida” to represent the best in the state – and country. Class winners go on to the 2023 ATA National Competition in Columbus, Ohio.

​

TDC is open to the public and family-friendly. We encourage people to learn more about the trucking industry and watch some of the best professional truck drivers show off their skills at the Ocean Center. For groups interested in scheduling a tour or media inquiries, please contact Alix Miller at alix@floridatrucking.org

BACK TO THE BEACH

There's fun for all ages in Daytona Beach! During the TDC Family Dessert event, drivers and their families are invited to grab an ice cream sundae and enjoy a starry night outside the Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort. Historically, this hotel sells out, requiring overflow hotels, so book now!
