The American Trucking Associations has announced the winners of its inaugural National Truck Driving Championships Collectible Truck and Lapel Pin Design Contest. Designs were chosen based on capturing the essence of NTDC and the 2008 host city – Houston.
Each year, ATA unveils a new collectible truck and lapel pin to memorialize the current year’s competition. This year, anyone associated with the trucking industry – spouses and children included – were encouraged to submit their design ideas.
