Description

The 2026 Louisiana Truck Driving Championships will take place Friday, June 19 – Saturday, June 20, 2026 at the Cajundome in Lafayette, Louisiana. Testing, pretrip, the course and the awards banquet will all be held on the Cajundome's campus.

This annual event brings together the best of Louisiana’s trucking professionals for two days of skill, safety, and camaraderie. In addition to the driving competition, we will also present the Louisiana Safety Awards, including:

What’s Changing from Previous Years? 

  • The location has moved from Baton Rouge to Lafayette.
  • The event will be hosted at the Cajundome (climate-controlled venue) and surrounding buildings on the UL campus. This includes all events from the competition (testing, pretrip and course) as well as the awards banquet.
  • Application timelines have shifted from early in the year to the spring - Driver registration will open March 1.

More details coming soon: Driver registration, sponsorship opportunities, and the full schedule will be released in the coming weeks—stay tuned for updates!

We can’t wait to see you in Lafayette for another great competition and to celebrate the outstanding professionals who keep our industry safe.
