YRC Regional Transportation, a subsidiary of YRC Worldwide Inc. , is proud to announce that USF Reddaway driver Steven Beckwith captured 2nd place in the Twins Class at the 2007 National Truck Driving Championships held August 21-25 in Minneapolis, MN.
A USF Reddaway employee for 13 years, Steven is a linehaul driver at the USF Reddaway service center in Denver, CO. He has competed at the state level for the past four years. Steven has received safety awards annually since 1995.
"We are extremely proud of all of our drivers, particularly Steven Beckwith whose achievements are outstanding," said Jim Staley, President and CEO of YRC Regional Transportation. "The championships are always very competitive, and we applaud our drivers on their exemplary performance."
The American Trucking Associations (ATA) sponsors the event, also known as the "Super Bowl of Safety," where drivers compete against nearly 400 others for national titles in eight different classes of vehicles for the National Grand Champion title. The drivers accumulate points by demonstrating their driving skill and knowledge of the trucking industry through a series of tests. The drivers are given a written examination, personal interview, pre-trip inspection test and a skills test.
To compete at the national competition, drivers must be accident-free for the 12 months leading up to the event and place first in the state-level driving championship. A record of 79 professional drivers from YRC Worldwide brands qualified for the national event this year.
