  • TMC Technicians Skills Championship 06/07/2008
    The cost to participate will be $20.00.

    This event will give the opportunity for truck technicians to show off their skills and win prizes.

    The event will begin Saturday June 7th at 8.00 AM with a written test similar to an ASE test. The top scores in the written test will then be asked to participate in the hands-on skills portion of the championship. In this portion of the championship the technicians will be required to work a series of stations coving major components of a typical truck such as,

    1. electrical
    2. wheel ends
    3. preventive maintenance
    4. clutch and driveline
    5. heating and air conditioning
    6. failure analysis
    7. engine diagnoses

    The scores from the written test and skills demonstration stations will be used to determine the winners.

    The TMC will award prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.

    The 1st place winner will then have the opportunity to compete as the Oklahoma Champion in the TMC National Skills Championship in September in Nashville, TN.

    The deadline for registering for the championship is May 17.
