The Super Bowl of trucking has one major rule. Don't hit the yellow ducks. At this year's National Truck Driving Championships, 429 drivers competed for one of trucking's top honors. Instead of racing to see who can drive big rigs the fastest, drivers from Walmart, FedEx, UPS, and smaller carriers showcased their safety skills. Competitors faced three tests: a written exam, a pre-trip inspection with hidden safety hazards, and an obstacle course. But unlike real life, where drivers try to stay far away from objects—or in this case, yellow ducks, they needed to get as close as possible to earn points. There's no safety technology in trucks to assist, either. UPS driver Miguel Corral took home the grand champion and told Fortune, "Speed doesn't prevent accidents, accuracy does."
