By now you will probably have heard that the Ohio Trucking Association has made the decision to take back the running of the Ohio State Safe Driving Championships for 2012. The Ohio Professional Drivers Association will no longer participate in this event.
What we in OPRA will be doing in 2012 is holding a Roadeo that will be open to any driver who wishes to participate in our event. Our goal is to allow drivers from all over the State to compete in a organized roadeo This event will be hosted by OPRA and we are offering the opportunity to any driver that would like to try his/her skills on our course, or test their skills in a Pre-tripping equipment contest. Drivers that wish to go to the State event will find this roadeo as a opportunity to polish there skills under a competition setting.
