Trucker Buddy International is a pen pal system between students and us as truckers. We can have one or more classes that we exchange letters and postcards with via the teachers.
Trucker Buddy is for all truckers and is tailored to what you, as a driver and the teacher want to make of the program. We have had classes in the United States and now only have classes in France. There is a list of classes available on the web site or if you know a teacher you can get them involved in the program and work with their classes.
Since we are not home often we needed a class that can use email most of the time instead of hand written letters. Many drivers are able to take their truck to the school each year and talk to the students about safety. The driver will show the kids blind spots while the student sits in the drivers seat and also talk about how to be safe when around trucks. When we had a class in Saint Louis we did this and talk about feeling like a rock star... Those kids greeted us at the front door of the school, asked a million questions, and wanted their pictures taken with us. Sure made us realize quickly how we were influencing their thoughts about truck drivers.
