Be Ready. Be Buckled.



The Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Belt Partnership, which is comprised of the American Trucking Associations, the Department of Transportation and other industry partners, was formed in 2003 to combat low safety belt use among the nation's CMV drivers. Since the education campaign began, safety belt usage among commercial motor vehicle drivers increased significantly in 2007, from 48 percent in 2003 to 65 percent in 2007.

Goodyear Highway Hero



The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company’s North America Highway Hero Program began in 1983 as a grassroots effort to elevate the image and public awareness of the responsible elements in the trucking industry. Convinced that trucking’s “bad apples” receive the majority of attention while the “good guys” generally are overlooked, Goodyear launched the North America Highway Hero Program to locate, honor and publicize those truck drivers who clearly qualify for the rare label of “hero.”
