Are You Signed Up For the 2012 NM Truck Roadeo Championships?

Talk to your employer today to find out what you need to do to participate.

The New Mexico Truck Roadeo competition will take place on Saturday, May 5th, 2012 at the FedEx facility located on Los Volcanos, in Albuquerque and the Awards Banquet will take place that evening at the Sheraton Uptown on the corner of Louisiana and Menaul. Look forward to seeing you at both events.

For those of you who will be participating in the New Mexico Truck Driving Championships competition this year, the 2012 State and National Rules and Procedures book and the 2012 Facts for Drivers (used to help study for the Championships Written Exam) will be available in February.

Several rules in the rulebook have been changed and others clarified (for example, some of the time limits for the Pre-trip Inspection have changed); and a number of sections and statistics have been updated or added in the Facts for Drivers.

Get involved, this is a great competition and it is fierce. Think you are one of the best drivers? Show your Union Pride and show those non-union drivers what you can do! Talk to your employer today!
