National Truck Driving Championships—Iowa is proud to be represented at the National Truck Driving Championships, we are, however, subject to follow the guidelines for entry to this event that are set by the NTDC committee and the ATA Executive committee. Currently a new rule states that only members of the ATA are eligible to participate however, the “wild card” and “First time participant” rule allows for non-members to participate. The choice to fill these two spots is done based on the overall score of the eligible winners.. ICSM pays for the entry fee except for $100 which ICSM receives from the driver’s company. ICSM also hosts a team dinner at the National TDC.
