Goodyear – Hero Wanted

Goodyear in the UK is looking for a truck or bus driver who has performed an heroic or outstanding deed in the course of his or her duties. The Goodyear Big Hero award is based on the long-running US Highway Hero award, which has been running successfully in the USA for decades, and will be launched at the Truckfest trucking festival in early May, when leaflets will be handed out to the thousands of truck drivers and members of the public who attend the event. Richard Lyons, sales director Goodyear Dunlop Tyres UK, said that the award is to improve the image of truckers, who are often portrayed as the “bad guys” of the road.
