ARLINGTON, Va., Jan. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Selection is underway for the 2022-2023 edition of America's Road Team, the American Trucking Associations' elite team of trucking industry ambassadors.
"We're excited to host the best of the best in the trucking industry this week as we narrow down to the final group. This will be our most diverse team of captains yet," said Elisabeth Barna, ATA executive vice president of industry affairs. "America's Road Team captains act as voices for the industry, a critical role as it becomes more and more evident how important trucking is to the economy overall and as a source of jobs."
The 34 finalists are industry veterans, many of whom are state-level road team captains, national truck driving championship winners, and role models at their companies and in their communities. They have a combined total of 75 million safe-driving miles and 923 years as professional truck drivers.
With professional truck drivers hailing from coast to coast and from large and small carriers, the group of finalists offers a full cross-section of the 3.6 million professional truck drivers operating in the United States. A panel of judges, including trucking executives and trade press, will evaluate the finalists on their knowledge of the industry, ability to effectively express their thoughts on transportation issues, and their overall safe-driving records.
The final round of judging for America's Road Team is scheduled for January 18-19. The 2022-2023 America's Road Team will be announced on January 19.
