Description

In this episode of Beyond the Bulldog, we sit down with Brian Walker, Lead Instructor at Randolph Community College’s Truck Driver Training Program, 13-time North Carolina Truck Driving Champion, and 2019 National Truck Driving Champion, to talk about the skill, focus, and patience behind professional truck driving.


Brian discusses:


-His family’s trucking legacy and how he followed in his father’s championship footsteps

-What it takes to win at state and national truck driving competitions — and why it starts with a perfect pre-trip

-How patience, discipline, and awareness define the difference between driving and professional driving

-What students learn in Randolph Community College’s 10-week CDL program

-How competition precision translates into safer, more confident drivers on the road


With decades of experience on the road and in the classroom, Brian shows how the next generation of drivers can elevate their craft — one mile, one maneuver, and one lesson at a time.
