Our Mission
Our History
Our Mission
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 mentor who encourages them to excel in school and who helps create positive images of the trucking industry.
