Letter From the President
Message from the President
Behind every organization like Trucker Buddy are the companies and individuals that support it. They believe in the mission and benefits that the program brings to everyone involved. Trucker Buddy gives back to its supporters through enhancing the public image of the trucking industry, bringing self worth and pride to the driver volunteers and making for a more conscience and safer community. It also helps to educate young students on how vital our industry is in their comfortable way of life. I would like to thank those individuals who have made the decision to support us. As a thirteen year driver volunteer I know I would not have been able to enjoy the rewards of being a Trucker Buddy if it wasn't for its supporters. I've experienced first hand the influence this program has in our communities and how the message of a Trucker Buddy can go right into the homes of America. I recently received a letter from one of my 4th grade students. I've always wanted to be a trucker. I have always wondered what its like to be a trucker? So now that I have a trucker buddy I might get to know that. So, Mr. Taylor, what is it like being a trucker? This letter shows how doors can be opened and the early impact that can be have on our industries future leaders and employees. After a class visit the teacher forwarded me a note she received from a parent of one of her students Mrs. West, Thank you for including the students from your previous classes with Trucker Buddy Mark. Michael was very excited and he didn't stop talking about how he met Mark and saw his truck. It was a thrill. The story was on the front page of the Alleghany Times this morning. Again Michael read that article and thought it was great because he was included Together this letter and note demonstrates how influential Trucker Buddy is in the communities we serve. However special these notes are, there are thousands of Trucker Buddy drivers receiving similar notes of their own through out the year showing how vital your support is to this program. I would like to thank those that made the decision to support us. When you made the decision to help, everyone benefited especially all of us in the trucking industry. The thousands of teachers, driver and students are grateful and thrilled and so am I. Mark Taylor President, Trucker Buddy International
