This past Friday, winners for the American Trucking Association's (ATA) National Step Van & Truck Driving Championships were announced. First place division winners from the Louisiana Truck Driving Championships represented our state in the national competition held in Indianapolis, IL. 

The Louisiana Motor Transport Association (LMTA) and the LMTA Foundation are proud to share our TWO national champions from this year's competition!

Damien Hebert of XPO Logistics took home first place in the twins' division of the national competition.

Additionally, Eric Courville with Fed Ex Freight was awarded second place in the sleeper birth division. 

We hope our members join us in congratulating not only these gentlemen but all of our state champions who competed last week. These drivers' dedication to the industry and safety represents the best in our state!
