Dear MMTA member,
Registration is now open for the 2021 MMTA Trucker Knowledge Competition and we want to make sure you and your drivers remember to sign up! This special event is meant to show appreciation for our professional truck drivers and to keep them engaged by competing online for some pretty big cash prizes. What do they have to lose?
The competition will be held virtually on Saturday, July 31st at 7:00 pm. While that might seem like an odd time to host an event, we are coordinating our efforts with many other state trucking associations around the country to hold similar competitions on the same night and at the same time – from Maine to Hawaii.
The concept is simple. We have subscribed to the quiz-show online platform called Kahoot to test professional drivers on their knowledge of trucking regulations, state-specific trucking information and we will also toss in some general trucking trivia to keep things interesting. Participants register through the MMTA to compete for cash prizes with entry requirements being very similar to those wishing to compete in our TDC. The top 10 qualified finishers will also be eligible to compete at a similar national event hosted by the American Trucking Associations on August 14th.
Are you or your drivers worried about competing online and the logistics/complications of Kahoot? Don’t be. They have made their platform extremely user-friendly and we are offering resources for competitors to access prior to the competition to alleviate any concerns they might have.
This is meant to be a fun event for drivers, especially those who have missed the camaraderie and competition of the past two TDC’s. Part of this fun will be to compete for a number of significant cash prizes, thanks to the unbelievable generosity of the MMTA’s Annual Sponsors. Please take the time to see the list of Annual Sponsors who have made this possible at the bottom of this page.
We encourage you to spread the word on this event. If you are a Safety Director or business owner, please print off or download the challenge flier to send to your drivers. If you are a professional driver, please register and then challenge your peers to do the same… wouldn’t your victory be sweeter knowing you went up against the best and beat them with your superior knowledge?
Help us keep the momentum going by sharing this email and the flier far and wide. And, as always, please let us know if you have any questions. Email Brian or Randy or call us at 623-4128.
Sincerely,
The MMTA Team
