It sure seems that Scott Woodrome of FedEx Freight has figured out the key to winning. It starts with his faith in God, adds a full dose of love and support from his wife, Lorraine, and the FedEx team, and tops it off with a diligent work ethic that gets him competition-ready.
The awards and accolades continue. Woodrome earned his fourth Grand Champion title at the Ohio Truck Driving Championships on May 18, in Sandusky.
When asked how he was feeling after the big win, he replied, “I am overwhelmed,” followed by a big smile and long pause. “I give everything to God, he has helped me thrive.”

Ohio's Truck Driving Superstar, Scott Woodrome, Earns 13th Berth at Nationals
For those competing in the tanker class at the National Truck Driving Championships in August, watch out for the guy whom peers call the Tom Brady or LeBron James of trucking. We’re referring to Scott Woodrome, who — notwithstanding the comparisons to these championship-winning football and basketball players — exudes humility at work and in truck safety competitions.
“At the end of the day I’m just a normal guy that wants to be safe, that wants to come home to his family, and everybody else to be able to do the same,” he told Transport Topics after claiming his third grand champion victory in May in Ohio, where he won the tanker class. His performance at the state competition has earned him an impressive 13th trip to nationals, which also will take place in Ohio in August.
His secret: Practice, a lot.
Adhering to a regimen of repeating myriad maneuvers in commercial vehicles and studying the rules of the road for the tournament’s written exam require strong self-discipline, Woodrome explained. And, that commitment is what has led to two class wins nationally. Woodrome won the tanker division at last year’s national tournament, held in Orlando, Fla., falling just shy of the overall national title.
