AKRON, Ohio — Time is running out to nominate truck-driving heroes for the 20th annual Goodyear Highway Hero Award.

Dec. 31 is the deadline for nominations for the 2002 Goodyear Highway Hero.

“We know there are many brave professional truck drivers out there who deserve to be recognized for their selfless and heroic deeds for coming to the aid of others,” says Ted Fick, Goodyear’s vice president, commercial systems. “However, they can’t be recognized if they’re not nominated. That’s why we need our industry’s help – if you know of someone deserving of the award, please take the time to make a nomination. The final deadline is fast approaching — we don’t want to leave any deserving driver out of consideration.”

Nominees must be a full-time truck driver, working in the U.S. or Canada. The driver must have been in his/her rig at the time of the accident and the vehicle must have 14 wheels or more. Also, the incident must have taken place between Oct. 1, 2001 and Dec. 15, 2002.
