FedEx Freight Sending 111 Drivers to NTDC
“Super Bowl of Safety” set for Aug. 11-14 in Pittsburgh
Highlighted by 18 drivers who were named Grand Champion in their respective states this year and nine past National Champions, FedEx Freight will field a team of 111 drivers at next week’s National Truck Driving Championships in Pittsburgh.
Drivers will compete for national titles in nine different truck classes as well as battle for the prestigious National Grand Champion title. Competitors earn points by showcasing their driving skills and knowledge of the industry through a written exam, pre-trip inspection, and driving skills challenge.
Since 2003, FedEx Freight drivers have earned 53 National Championship titles and seven National Grand Champion honors. This year’s FedEx Freight team includes three defending national champions from the 2025 NTDC. Notably, past National Grand Champions Jackie Reed of Hattiesburg, Mississippi (2024) and David Comings of Wahpeton, North Dakota (2025) return to compete at the 2026 NTDC.
