Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, Orlando, FL
Host a Qualifying Competition for the IFDA National Championship
Each year, IFDA’s National Championship recognizes the best professional drivers in foodservice distribution — and it starts with you. By hosting a company-level qualifying competition, you identify your top talent, strengthen your safety culture, and give your drivers the opportunity to compete on a national stage.
Company competitions mirror the structure of the IFDA National Championship across three components: a written safety exam, a pre-trip vehicle inspection, and a timed driving course with real-world obstacles. Competitions are organized by vehicle class to ensure a level playing field.
