What is TMCSuperTech?

The Technology & Maintenance Council’s National Technician Skills Competition—TMCSuperTech—is an annual event held in conjunction with TMC’s Fall Meeting. The event is organized by TMC’s Professional Technician Development Committee.

TMCSuperTech is North America’s premier skills competition for professional commercial vehicle technicians. TMCSuperTech contestants come from all segments of the trucking industry, and many are state, regional or corporate champions.

The competition consists of a first-round written challenge and subsequent hands-on skills challenge. Contestants take part in the first-round written challenge on day one of the competition. Following the written challenge, there is a reception at which TMC announces the names of a predetermined number of contestants who are eligible to compete on day two in the hands-on skills challenge. The last day of the event consists of a technician training fair (featuring numerous hands-on job related training classes that qualify for NATEF continuing education units), followed by an competition awards banquet.

 

The competition is open to any actively employed commercial vehicle technician. However, all competitors must be TMC Technician Members. Active members are eligible to enter the competition without fee. Nonmembers will pay an entry fee and will become members for the remainder of the year. Verified champions of state trucking association technician skills competitions may enter without paying a fee. Grand Champions of previous TMC National Technician Skills Competitions are eligible to compete. [Membership forms available at http://tmc.truckline.com or by calling TMC offices at (703) 838-1763.]

In early May TMCSuperTech registration forms can be found at http://tmc.truckline.com . Registrations forms must be postmarked by a specific date set by TMC. Only preregistered contestants are eligible to compete. Contestants are sent a confirmation of their registration and housing accommodations in advance of the event.
