Online sports betting is a red-hot trend, as you can see by the expensive celebrities hired to endorse it. With a simple app you can wager your hard-earned money (or your wife’s if you’re clever or have a death wish) right on your phone: football, basketball, baseball, hockey curling (whoa, careful with that one, high-roller!). Well, now competitive trucking has entered the fray.
The National Truck Driving Championships has been around since the 1930s, but to qualify for inclusion in high-stakes betting apps, they had to up their game. In addition to 4-axel, 5-axel, tanker, flatbed, etc., some new events are adding spice to the experience. Now you can wager on “2-Knee Steering While Eating a Hoagie,” “Inventing a Plausible Excuse When Your Wife Finds Somebody Else’s Underwear in Your Cab,” and “Creative Logbook Doctoring.”
There has already been controversy, when truckers were accused of intentionally losing in the early rounds to raise their odds, much like pool sharks. Favored trucker Tommy “the Sandbag” Jefferson was caught paying a little green gremlin to sabotage his tractor.
