Buddy International is pleased to announce Mike Schultz Trucker Buddy of the
Month for January 2010

Ms.
Darlene Thrall, fifth grade teacher at Mooresville Intermedia
School, in Mooresville, NC nominated Mike Schultz for Trucker Buddy
of the Month. "Mike has been a tremendous asset to my classroom
this year. He has taken the time to send biweekly Newsletters that let
us know where he has been, which we plot on a map, what his loads
have been, and how they might impact us, and he includes pictures of
the landscapes, including interesting tidbits of information about the
area, and our favorite—pictures of his dog, Pilot."
Mike takes the time to write to all the students individually and
answers all their questions. He tells the student about his racing
hobby, which they love, his horses, and what he does in his free
time. Ms. Thrall says, "The kids look forward to his letters and are
always anxious to write to him! What an accomplishment—kids
wanting to write!"
The students were thrilled when Mike brought his truck and his dog,
Pilot to their school. The also like wanted him to become the
Trucker Buddy of the Month because he sends letters to Ms.
Thrall for each of the children.
