Buchanan Hauling and Buchanan Specialized proudly participated in the annual IMTA Truck Rodeo, held June 6th through the 7th. This exciting event brings together top professional drivers across the state to test their knowledge, skills, and precision behind the wheel.
To qualify, drivers must meet strict standards outlined by the Truck Driving Championship (TDC), including one full year of accident-free driving, active employment with their carrier for at least 12 months, valid medical certification as per the Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, and a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) issued from or based in the state hosting the competition.
Drivers compete in three main areas: a written exam, a pre-trip inspection test, and a challenging skills course. All are designed to highlight safety, awareness, and expertise on the road.

Chris A. – 3rd-year competitor
Patti C., Mike B., Mark D., Scott S., and Jeff C. – all rookies making their debut
Supporting from the sidelines:
