XPO, Inc. GREENWICH, Conn., Aug. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Three drivers from XPO (NYSE:XPO), a leading provider of LTL freight transportation in North America, took home top awards tonight at the 2024 National Truck Driving Championships (NTDC). The competition, known as the “Super Bowl of Safety,” was held in Indianapolis from August 21 to 24. The XPO drivers honored at this year’s national championships were: Brandon Hardy (Las Vegas, Nevada): First place in the five-axle class.

Brandon has over one million accident-free miles and made his 10th appearance at NTDC this year. Joe Hicks (Cranston, Rhode Island): First place in the four-axle class. Joe returned to nationals for the 10th time after placing second in the three-axle class at the 2023 NTDC. Rich Sweeney (Chicopee, Massachusetts): Recipient of the prestigious Neill Darmstadter Professional Excellence Award, presented to the contestant who most exemplifies the best attributes of a professional truck driver. Rich has over two million accident-free miles and made his 15th NTDC appearance this year.

Ina Daly (Phoenix, Arizona) also was named a finalist in the flatbed class. A trucking industry trailblazer with over three million accident-free miles, Ina returned to nationals for the 17th time after receiving the Neill Darmstadter Professional Excellence award last year. In 2013, she made history as the first woman named a national champion at NTDC. In total, 22 XPO drivers hailing from 16 states competed at the 2024 NTDC.
