Improving the image of the trucking industry by encouraging young students to excel in life.
Nothing is more critical to the Industry than a strong, positive image. The mission of Trucker Buddy is to help reverse any negative perception and communicate the life-long value of the industry, beginning with communicating the value of the industry to elementary school students. Trucker Buddy is a program where professional truckers are paired with classrooms. The trucker communicates to the class through the teacher so students learn about the industry.
Trucker Buddy helps elementary students learn. Students learn their core subjects like geography, math as well as improve their reading and writing skills, in a fun and interesting way with the help of a professional driver.

In November 1992, a professional truck driver, Gary King, contacted a grade school and asked permission to write to a class of students as "pen-pals." When one teacher quickly agreed, a nonprofit partnership between the trucking and education communities began.
Our mission at Trucker Buddy is to put a face behind the steering wheel of trucks as they roll down the highway. Hoping that when children see a truck, they automatically think of their trucker buddy who encourages them to excel in school and who helps create positive images of the trucking industry.
The Trucker Buddy program is 100% funded by donations. Your support and contributions help young students excel in school while improving the image of the trucking industry.
Money raised goes towards materials for Trucker Buddy initiatives, school supplies, meals for students, classroom technology, and much more.
