Recognizing the truck drivers who go above and beyond not for metrics, not for scores, but for the moments of humanity that never make the news.
The Highway Hero exists to celebrate truck drivers who show professionalism, kindness, integrity, and humanity often in moments that go completely unnoticed. This program is not about freight performance, on-time deliveries, rates, or dispatch decisions. It is about the human behind the wheel.
No metrics. No freight scores. Just recognition where it's long overdue.
The public, shippers, warehouse staff, fellow drivers, or dispatchers, you don't need to work in transportation to participate.
Share a specific moment: an act of kindness, professionalism under pressure, or help given to someone in need. Real stories, told simply.
Our volunteer board reviews every submission for authenticity and alignment with program values. Not all submissions are published.
One Monthly Hero is selected and featured on the website and social channels. Monthly heroes are considered for the National Hero award.
A nomination must focus on a specific positive action performed by a driver. If the story reads like a performance review or complaint, it will not be accepted.
