LMTA's 2025 Truck Driving Championships Registration has been EXTENDED

All drivers must complete registration by end of business, Saturday January 25, 2025, to compete. This is an extension to the original deadline of January 10.

The Louisiana Truck Driving Championships (TDC) is a competition of professional truck drivers hosted each year by the LMTA and act as the state qualifier for the National Truck Driving Championships. During the TDC, drivers compete across 9 categories and are scored on their knowledge and professionalism through a written examination, pre-trip inspection and driving skills test. 

As part of the LMTA Foundation's mission to promote safety and highlight driver excellence in Louisiana's trucking industry, there is no registration fee for the Louisiana Truck Driving Championship Banquet but there is a $50.00 registration fee per each competitor. This is to be remitted online at the time of registration.

Our 2025 Truck Driving Championships is to be held Feb 28 - Mar 1, 2025. The registration, testing and awards banquet will be held at the L'Auberge Casino & Hotel in Baton Rouge. The Pre-trip inspection and driving course will be hosted at the L’Auberge Casino & Hotel overflow parking lot in Baton Rouge.

All drivers must complete registration by end of business, Saturday January 25, 2025, to compete. This is an extension to the original deadline of January 10. Competitors "Facts for Drivers" books, which the written exam is based on, will not be mailed out until after driver registration is completed.

To complete registration, companies must upload and submit all requested driver and manager information, forms, MVR, and CDL copies. All requested information must be uploaded and entered before the system will let you submit the registration. You CAN NOT partially submit an applicant.
