Truck Safety & Education Symposium
The New York State Truck Safety and Education Symposium is a successful public-private partnership, hosted by the Trucking Association of New York (TANY), the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles, the NYS Department of Transportation, the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee, and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. It is the New York State premier truck safety event, providing attendees with the latest information on issues and compliance initiatives facing the trucking industry.
Planning is already underway for the 2022 Truck Safety Symposium. Save the dates - April 5-6, 2022.
Truck Driving Championships & Step Van Competition (TDC)
TDC was developed to promote safety on the highways through an exhibition of skill, professionalism and safe handling of a commercial motor vehicle.
Competitors participate in a written exam, pre-trip inspection exam and skills course consisting of six obstacles. Each entering driver is eligible to compete in one (1) out of nine (9) classes offered: step van, straight truck, 3-axle, 4-axle, 5-axle, flatbed, tank trailer, twin trailers and sleeper berth.
Trophies are awarded to the top three drivers in each class, rookie of the year, highest scores on the written exam and pre-trip inspection, highest overall score and the company team with the highest overall score. A team must have a minimum of three (3) competitors.
Due to continuing challenges and concerns presented by COVID-19, TANY’s Truck Driving Championships Committee has made the difficult decision to cancel the in-person 2021 event.
In lieu of the in-person event being cancelled, TANY hosted a virtual Battle of the States on July 31. Congratulations to the top 10 who went on to compete in the virtual Nationals!
