GMTA's 2011 Truck Driving Championships

The GMTA Safety Management Council returned to Lake Lanier Islands for its annual Georgia Truck Driving Championships. The competition hosted over 170 professional drivers and over 500 friends, families and co-workers. 

Each year, the GMTA Safety Management Council recognizes the best professional truck drivers in Georgia. In addition to the 24 first, second and third place class winners of the Georgia Truck Driving Championships, the Safety Management Council recognizes special individuals and teams for accomplishments as well.

The Safety Management Council wishes to thank all of the volunteers and the TDC Committee who helped make this year's Championship a success. Additionally we want to thank our sponsors who donated money, supplies, equipment and expertise. Please join us in congratulating the winners!
