Hey truckers, ever wonder who’s the sharpest wrench in the shed keeping our rigs rolling? Well, at the 2025 TMCSuperTech National Skills Competition, it’s FedEx Freight folks stealing the show! Their technicians snagged the top two spots and the whole team title, proving once again that their maintenance crew is top-notch. 🏆
This ain’t just some award ceremony—it’s a big deal for all of us out here hauling freight. When techs like these are on point, it means safer roads, fewer breakdowns, and rigs that run like butter. Think about it: better-trained mechanics mean quicker fixes on the line, which could cut down those dreaded downtime hours that eat into your pay. For FedEx drivers and owner-ops alike, this spells reliability in the lanes—from Jacksonville to Greensboro and beyond. No more sweating over sketchy electrical systems or ADAS glitches mid-haul. 🔧🚛
The grand champ? Matt Sloan out of Jacksonville, Florida—a 16-year vet who’s been competing for over a decade. He crushed it in electronic diagnostics, electrical circuits, and ADAS stations. Second place went to Kelby Bentley from Greensboro, NC, the 2019 champ himself. FedEx Freight’s team swept the honors at the Raleigh event back in September, showing they’re investing in skills that keep the freight moving smooth. If you’re in the LTL game, this is a win for the whole industry—sharper techs mean less hassle with inspections and more miles under your tires. 💪
Bottom line, folks: Strong tech teams like this keep the supply chain humming, which trickles down to steadier rates and better equipment for you. Know this before your next haul—top-shelf maintenance isn’t just FedEx’s pride; it’s what gets us home safer every run.
