Trucker Buddy is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping educate and mentor the nation's schoolchildren via a pen-pal relationship between professional truck drivers and children in grades 2-8. Trucker Buddy matches classes of students with professional truck drivers.
Every week, these drivers share news about their travels with their assigned classes, and provide a format for the enhancement of the grade school curriculum in reading, writing, geography, mathematics, social studies, and history.
Since 1992, Trucker Buddy has helped educate over half million schoolchildren and introduced them to a group of caring, compassionate group of men and women, the nation's truck drivers.
Trucker Buddy is an award-winning program (Most Significant Service Award, Truck Writers of North America 1994, and 1997 RPM Xtra Mile Award.) Trucker Buddy has been featured in hundreds of publications and television reports including PEOPLE Magazine, Reader's Digest, Family Circle, Sci-Fi Channel, CNN Headline News, Charles Osgood File, and the Wall Street Journal.
Our trucker buddy, Mr. Michael Canada,  works for Schneider National.  He lives in Fairfield, Ohio.  He is going to tell us about his travels. Please click on the dates to view some of our communications.
