The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (NASDAQ: GT) is accepting nominations for its annual Highway Hero Award. Since 1983, the company has recognized commercial truck drivers who go above and beyond their regular duties to keep the nation’s highways safe.

Through Dec. 31, 2024, Goodyear is inviting nominations for drivers with a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) who went the extra mile to help others on the road.

“Commercial truck drivers are not only at the center of the supply chain industry, but they also act as vigilant guardians of the roads, ready to assist others in need,” said Joe Burke, vice president, Goodyear North America Commercial business. “For over four decades, the Goodyear Highway Hero Award program has celebrated remarkable contributions of professional truck drivers who have acted selflessly for the good of others on the road.”

Goodyear will determine an approved list of nominees from which a panel of judges will select one winner and up to two finalists.

The tire company will announce the award winner in 2025, honoring the driver with a cash prize and a ride on the Goodyear Blimp. Up to two runners-up will also receive cash prizes.
