Driver registration is now closed.
Our competition is only possible with the help of our Safety Management Council and event volunteers! Volunteers help us staff everything from judges and equipment hostlers to exam monitors. Volunteer roles require a variety of industry and non-industry-specific qualifications - all needed to make our event a success.
If you plan on volunteering, please complete the online sign-up form, so we can start assigning coverage. We ask that all volunteers plan to attend the March 2 meeting for 2:00 PM at the LMTA Office. Please note: This meeting has been moved from the scheduled initially 1:00 PM.
