Before you sign up please review the teachers who are looking for a Trucker Buddy. If there is a teacher on the list you would like to be matched with place their city and state in the comments section of the registration form. If not go ahead and sign up and keep checking the list. Let us know when you see one you would like. AVAILABLE TEACHERS LIST
We can also send you brochures to take to your local school if you don't see a teacher on the list. You can also be matched with your own child, grandchild, or relative.
We will not pair you with a random class. You will need to tell us the class you want and we suggest periodically checking the teacher list until you find one you want.
If you have any questions call us at 1-800-MYBUDDY or email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
To be a Trucker Buddy requires a commitment of time and energy to help educate a class of grade school children. As a role model, it also demands a high degree of integrity and professionalism. Each driver will go through a backgroud check. All drivers in the Trucker Buddy program must agree to follow the rules below.
There should NEVER be ANY one on one contact or communication with your students unless the teacher is present. This includes phone calls, emails, text, Facebook, Twitter, Skype or any other form of communication. If a students asks for your contact information then call the teacher immediately and let them know about the request. This is not only a protection for the student but for the drivers too. Of course if you have a prior relationship with the student as a parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle then this doesn't apply.
Participant Rules (Drivers and Teachers)
This letter is to thank you for an absolutely wonderful experience. Trucker Don is the best pen pal we could have asked for. The children learned map skills, directions, can identify some of the states, and letter writing skills.
