(KNOX) – FedEx Freight driver David Comings of Wahpeton recently became the first North Dakota driver to be crowned Grand Champion at the American Trucking Associations’ National Truck Driving Championship in Minneapolis.

The National TDC is held annually and is limited to state champions from across the United States. Drivers compete in events designed to measure their driving skills, industry knowledge and dedication to safety.

This was Comings’ fourth consecutive appearance at the national TDC. He outscored 424 other competitors to bring home the Bendix Grand Champion Award. He also won the award for best performance on the written exam.

Comings drives daily loads between Fargo and Belfield, North Dakota. He has logged over 3.1 million accident-free miles in 28.5 years. He won the North Dakota 4-axle titles in 2022 and 2023, and was 5-axle champion in 2024 and 2025. In June, David won his first North Dakota state Grand Champion award.
