Mack Trucks is again sponsoring a Driving Skills Safety Challenge during the World of Concrete show. The event this year will be held outside the Las Vegas Convention Center Jan. 23–25 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The competition is open to any driver at least 18 years of age with a valid CDL who completes an application form, shows proof of operator training, and is registered for the show.
This year’s event features both individual and team competitions (two operators per team). Contestants will choose one MACK Granite model mixer to operate through a closed course set up to simulate an actual job site. Operators must complete a pre-operation safety check, successfully navigate the skills course, and then secure the truck as if it were the end of a workday. Each individual or team will have one attempt. Scoring will be based on accuracy and adherence to safety procedures. Specific scoring rules will be provided at the event.
First-, second- and third-place winners in both the individual and team competitions will be announced during an awards ceremony on Thursday, Jan. 25 at 4:30 p.m. in the Mack booth (C5469).
In addition to a trophy, winners will receive Mack Shop gift certificates. The first-place winner will also receive a Mack watch and all contestants receive a Mack hat for participating in the event.
