Hank Good Wins the Gary King Memorial Award at the 2010 Walcott Jamboree
Henry R. Good has been a big asset to Trucker Buddy for years, or more accurately, decades. Starting in 1992, he became one of the first Trucker Buddies when Gary King was just beginning the program. King wanted a way to keep in touch with his own young children so he developed Trucker Buddy. Good, a New York native, was a Trucker Buddy until he retired from driving in 2002 due to a non-driving accident.
After years of fighting the complications of the accident he is now fit and back into trucking.
Highway Hank, as all his friends call him, has accepted a driving opportunity with Schneider National and has signed up again for Trucker Buddy. His next class is going to get a great mentor and teacher.
He is nationally and internationally known for his 1981 Kenworth K100C VIT Aerodyne Cabover Kenworth called "Hank's Highway Hilton", a truck he placed in truck beauty contests over the years. Hank even took it to Europe to show off American technology in the early and middle 1990s. The “Hilton” is retired but still carries with it years of fond memories.
“Hank is a deserving winner. He knew Gary King well and Gary recruited him when Trucker Buddy was a young organization. It’s great to have Hank back on the road and back with Trucker Buddy,” says Trucker Buddy’s Randy Schwartzenburg.
Trucker Buddy International, an independent, non-profit 501(c) (3) organization, often called the number one trucking image campaign in North America, has helped educate schoolchildren and introduce educators to the trucking industry. This gives them the world through the eyes of a professional truck driver. The Trucker Buddy program helps to educate and mentor schoolchildren via a pen pal relationship between professional truck drivers and children in grades 2-8 as supervised by their teachers.
After an extensive screening process, the professional truck drivers are matched with a class and as directed by the teacher, drivers share news about their travels with their class. Students write letters and send pictures to their drivers. Students' skills in reading, writing, geography, mathematics, social studies, and history are enhanced and learning is fun.
Since 1992, Trucker Buddy International has helped educate over a million schoolchildren and introduced them to caring, compassionate men and women, professional truck drivers. The on going success of the program is due to driver volunteers, participating teachers and the contributions of sponsors. There is no cost to the drivers or teachers to participate in the program. The Trucker Buddy program is funded entirely by sponsorships and donations.
