Motor Cargo Drivers Claim Nevada Championship Awards
RENO, Nev., May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Motor Cargo's Walter Woolman, a Las
Vegas-based road driver, captured first-place honors at the Nevada Truck
Driving Championships held here.
Woolman, who has driven for Motor Cargo for six years, took the winner's trophy
in the four-axle class competition this past weekend. The victory earned
Woolman a trip to Tampa, Fla., in August, where he will compete with other
state titleholders from across the country in the 2005 National Truck Driving
Championships.
In addition, Motor Cargo drivers also took the Team Trophy at the state
championships, with the best aggregate score from among the company's five
participating drivers.
"Motor Cargo is thrilled to have won these prestigious awards," said company
president Pete Morrow. "Our drivers work hard to be the best, and it is great
to see them recognized for their efforts. We are extremely proud of all our
drivers and are looking forward to competing in other state championships this
year."
In addition to negotiating the competition course, all participants are rated
on their driving skills and scored on a written test and personal interview.
All drivers taking part in the state championships also must have excellent
safety records. Additional information also is available at the company Web
