Quote: The Trucker Buddy program needs a few good men and women, quite a few in fact. Since 1992, Trucker Buddy has been matching truckers with classrooms in schools across the country.
“We’re seeing an amazing level of growth in terms of teachers interested in this program – the number has at least doubled, if not tripled, in a matter of weeks. And that’s a great opportunity for trucking,” said Mark Reddig, Trucker Buddy board member and host of OOIDA’s Sirius XM satellite radio show, Land Line Now.
“This program is absolutely key to improving the image of truck drivers with the general public. Getting to kids at an early age with a positive image of truckers – and getting that same message across to their parents – not only helps us now, it will help us make this a better world for truckers 20 years down the road.”
Teachers use the program as an educational tool, often tracking their trucker’s travels on a map. Reddig reports a number of teachers signed-up this fall, and now they need about a hundred truckers to do the same.

I'm not trying to promote or push this program on any driver here. I do know a grade school teacher who uses this and it's a valuable program.The students do a day-by-day update where the trucking buddy is, along with geography. If you have the time and would like to become a sponsor for them. Please follow the link in the news article to there website. This is a non-profit program for those interested.
