Description

The 2026 Louisiana Truck Driving Championships will take place Friday, June 19 – Saturday, June 20, 2026 at the Cajundome in Lafayette, Louisiana. Testing, pretrip, the course and the awards banquet will all be held on the Cajundome's campus.

Volunteer Information:

Volunteering at the Louisiana Truck Driving Championships is a great opportunity for safety professionals to get directly involved in one of the industry’s premier events. Since competitors cannot volunteer, we rely on those in safety and operations to help run, judge, and set up the competition. Volunteers work alongside Louisiana State Police and industry leaders to ensure the event is safe, fair, and successful.

In addition to supporting the industry, volunteers receive a T-shirt and cap, and can earn certification credit for NATMI safety hours. It’s a valuable way to gain experience, build connections, and be part of an event that highlights excellence in trucking.
