FedEx Citizenship Blog @ NTDC

It's called the Super Bowl of Safety and it's being held in the City of Champions and the home of FedEx Ground headquarters - Pittsburgh, PA.  There are 98 FedEx drivers competiting this week through the weekend, and the FedEx Citizenship Blog is there to bring you the action.

Safety Drives the NTDC

The drivers were firing on all cylinders on Day Two of the National Truck Driving Championships. An early morning “Breakfast of Champions” kicked off the day for all competitors – including the 98 drivers from Team FedEx. After breakfast, they made their way to the Convention Center to begin the first day of the skills portion of the event. Drivers were then divided by class, with half competing in the pre-trip inspection and the other taking their turn on the driving course. On Friday, they’ll swap places.

Safe Kids at the National Truck Driving Championships

During the 2009 National Truck Driving Championships, children, spouses and friends don’t have to sit behind the wheel of a big rig to display their road safety expertise. FedEx and Safe Kids teamed up to bring an interactive safety game to the NTDC, which is being held this week in Pittsburgh. While 98 FedEx drivers competed, the game tested attendees’ knowledge of pedestrian safety, as well as challenging their aim. Those with a good knowledge of safety and a strong throwing arm were rewarded with reflective safety gear and other prizes.

This is a note I sent to the FedEx network and I wanted to share with the broader FedEx Citizenship blog audience, so you too can be thinking about how best to be prepared.
