The 2007 Mack Driving Skills Safety Challenge Thank you for your interest in competing in the 2007 Mack Driving Skills Safety Challenge. Mack Trucks, Inc. is sponsoring the Mack Driving Skills Safety Challenge during this year's World of Concrete in Las Vegas. It is a series of 7 events including pre-trip inspection, turning radius, and reversing accuracy. Show attendees with a valid CDL license will demonstrate their skills by driving through a closed course to emulate an actual job site. Individual and team competitions (two operators per team) will be held in the Orange Lot outside the Las Vegas Convention Center January 23-25, 2007. This is our way of acknowledging and thanking a group of drivers whose professionalism and contribution to safety are not traditionally recognized in skills events.
In order to be eligible to compete, please read the following contest rules and information, and then come to the registration tent in the Orange Lot. Mack will provide more detailed instructions to show attendees on January 23-25,2007 at the competition.
