IFDA’S TRUCKER RODEO AT DISNEY ORLANDO. International Foodservice Distributors http://www.ifdaonline.org is an organization compiled of many food distributing carriers. We sat down with Mark Allen the president and CEO of IFDA for a few minutes. IFDA has their very own “Truckers Hall of Fame”. In order to be inducted into the HOF a truck driver must have a minimum of 25 years working for a IFDA (s) carrier (s). The driver must not have a moving violation for the past 5 years and be accident free for the past 25 years. This narrows the field but as Mark said “brings out the best of the best”.
The rodeo Epcot
Each year IFDA sponsors a truck driver rodeo at Epcot in Orlando Fl. Each carrier nominates their best driver and the competition begins. The rodeo shows off truck driver skills from backing to tight maneuvering. The rodeo will not be held this year 2020 for obvious reasons with the corona virus https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html lurking but the rodeo expected to return in October of 2021.
