Trucker Buddy International is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping educate and mentor 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 drivers share news about their travels with their class. Once a month, students write letters to their drivers. Students’ skills in reading, writing, geography, mathematics, social studies, and history are enhanced and learning is fun. Since 1992,   Trucker Buddy has helped educate over a million schoolchildren and  introduced them to caring, compassionate men and women,  professional truck drivers.

I became interested in “Trucker Buddy” in 2005, while I was an  Owner Operator leased to “Swift Transportation”, for 6.6years, and received 5 years safe driving certificates from Swift Trans.

no certificate was issued for year 6, (change of companies)

A certificate for 17 years of save driving from OOIDA will be posted soon.
