WEST CHESTER. PA – A. Duie Pyle, a leading Northeast transportation and 
logistics provider, announced Leo Flack has won his second National Championship by earning first place in this year’s Sleeper Berth Class division. The American Trucking Associations’ (ATA) National Truck Driving Championship was held the second week of August in Minneapolis, MN and included top professional truck drivers from around the nation who qualified during the summer at state and regional levels in order to advance to the national competition.
Flack of West Chester, PA placed first in the Sleeper Berth Class division after completing a written examination, pre-trip inspection test and a skills test. A veteran of the competition, Leo has competed in the championship round for 7 years. In 2011 he took top honors in the tank truck division.
“We are extremely proud of our drivers, and we are especially proud of Leo Flack,” said Peter Dannecker, director of loss prevention for A. Duie Pyle. “He is a humble, soft-spoken gentleman who worked hard for this achievement by relentlessly studying and practicing whenever he could. Earning his way to the championship round for the past 7 years and winning gold belt buckles in the past two is a testament to his hard work and dedication.”
Over 400 drivers from all 50 states competed in Minneapolis for four days during the 2012 National Truck Driving Championships and National Step Van Driving Championships, known as the “Super Bowl of Safety”, challenging their driving skills, and knowledge of safety, equipment and the industry. This year marked the 75th anniversary of the event.
