Driving team named Trucker Buddies

Feb 29, 2012

Team drivers Susan and Henry Gantner were named Trucker Buddy of the Month for November 2011. The owner-operators were nominated by Chassidy Vissering and her second-grade class at Pewitt Elementary in Omaha, Texas.

The Gantners are leased to Roadrunner. They communicate with the class weekly and stop by for visits on their twice-weekly trips to California

Visit the Trucker Buddy website for more information on the Gantners’ volunteer work.
