Jason King recently took fourth place in the straight truck division at the 2026 Wisconsin State Truck Rodeo in Appleton, Wisconsin on May 15-16.

The Kings resident has competed in a number of competitions in his capacity as a truck driver for UPS.

The competition is made up of a pre-trip inspection, a written test and driving course. Last year, King took second place in the same division in Illinois.

King has worked at UPS for six years and regularly drives a sleeper semi cross-country, starting in Chicago before stops in New Jersey, North Carolina, Arizona and back to Chicago. The longtime area resident has driven trucks since 1998, starting out at Maplehurst Farms.
