The competition, organized by the All Japan Trucking Association, is being held for the 57th time. Its purpose is to allow truck drivers to compete in the advanced driving skills required of them, as well as their specialized knowledge of relevant laws and regulations and vehicle structure, and to serve as role models for others. This will instill in them a sense of responsibility and pride as truck drivers who bear social responsibility, and to promote safety awareness and traffic accident prevention activities.
