Who are we?
• CORTDC is a not-for-profit volunteer
organization dedicated to providing an
opportunity for professional truck drivers to
show their stuff. It gives the trucking
industry a means to promote safe driving
and skill. By means of a written test, an
obstacle course and a truck inspection,
drivers compete to represent the Central
Ontario Region in the annual Ontario Truck
Driving Championships, to be held on the
third weekend of July each year..
Who can compete?
• The competition is open to professional
drivers - either company or owner/operator
- based in Central Ontario. Drivers can
enter one of six divisions, or classes.
