contestants representing the Culpeper district and Louisa and Culpeper residencies. Scoring is based on driving skill over a predetermined course, and an equipment safety check.

Each contestant, driving a dump truck with a snow plow mounted on the front, must knock over a row of wooden blocks in front of cones without hitting the cones, stop as close as possible to a barrier in front of the truck without hitting it, parallel park, back up between a row of cones without hitting one, stopping as close as possible to a barrier representing a loading dock without hitting the barrier.
