Awesome Trucker

Showcase for the selfless acts of the high-caliber individuals who drive the trucks delivering America’s daily needs. We are proud to recognize truckers and other trucking industry members who have saved lives, provided humanitarian aid or community service to their fellow man.

By Tim Brady

In recent years, big rig accidents and terrorists trying to get HazMat licensing have become high ratings media events, causing a lot of negative publicity for the trucking industry.

To counter this, American Rig Radio started its Awesome Trucker Program. Its mission is to refute negative publicity and recognize drivers and other trucking industry members’ acts of unusual courage or daring rescue efforts.

The Awesome Trucker Program shows the best side of trucking, interviewing individuals who have performed a heroic deed or come to the aid of others, whether out on the highway or in their communities.

To launch the American Rig Radio’s Awesome Trucker Program, look no further than Charlie Daniels.

Now you may be scratching your head and wondering, “Is he a trucker?” Well, look at this: Charlie logs nearly 100,000 miles a year and lives in his vehicle for most of those days and miles. Uh huh. He’s also the voice of Sirius ‘Road Dog’ Trucking Radio, and now National Bankers Trust Truckers’ Advocate for ethical, reasonable and sound financial services for truck drivers and small motor carriers.

So American Rig Radio had Tim Brady interview Country Music Legend Charlie Daniels earlier this year as the first Honorary Awesome Trucker.
