MMTA Truck Driving Championships

The Truck Driving Championships is a competition of professional truck drivers hosted each year by the MMTA. This competition has a long history – dating back to 1937 when it was known as the National Truck Rodeo. Maine professional truck driving championships are held each May at Dysart’s Trailer Shop in Hermon, Maine. Winners move on to the National Truck Driving Championship hosted by the American Trucking Associations.

AGREEMENTS AND RELEASE
In consideration of my being permitted to participate in the ATA’s National and/or its affiliates’ Truck Driving Championships (TDC) or Step Van Driving Championships (SVDC) and be eligible for awards offered to participants, I hereby stipulate and agree to the following:
1. I acknowledge that I am not in the employ of ATA or a State Trucking Association. 2. Both as to myself and my heirs and personal representatives, I release ATA, its directors, employees, agents and/or any of its affiliates and the MMTA, its directors, employees, agents and/or any of its affiliates from any and all liability and any right of action that may arise from any damage or injury which I may receive while attending or participating in said State or National TDC or National SVDC. 3. I grant the MMTA and ATA and its designated agencies exclusive right to make use of information about myself and of photographs supplied with this entry form, along with photographs subsequently taken under ATA’s direction, in publicity and advertising activities. I further agree to make myself available for publicity enterprises arranged by ATA, with newspaper and magazine writers and radio and television personnel. 4. I grant the MMTA and ATA the right to exam my CDL and MVR for the purposes of determining my eligibility to compete at both the State and National TDC or SVDC. 5. I will be bound by all orders, rules and regulations governing ATA’s National and/or its affiliates’ TDC or SVDC while participating in said competitions.

2. I have driven and performed the regular duties of a truck driver or step van driver for at least 11 of the 12 months, and that my regular duties of a truck driver or step van driver constituted not less than 60% of my work hours and at least 1200 hours annually.
3. I have not been involved in a fleet motor vehicle or motor carrier vehicle accident in the course of such employment.
4. I have the proper class Commercial Driver’s License (if a SVDC applicant, not required), plus required endorsement(s) for the class of competition indicated above.
5. That I hold a CDL from or have been occupationally domiciled in the state of Maine. Occupational domiciled means the terminal, garage or other operating base from which the driver normally and usually works and/or is supervised.
