“We have been fortunate to have Randy Schwartzenburg’s expertise and hard work directing us for the past nine years,” said Welborn. “He has dedicated his heart and soul over the years to making Trucker Buddy the best program he can and he will be missed.”
In addition to his nine years as executive director, Schwartzenburg has 25 years collectively working with Trucker Buddy, dating back to the inception of the program.
“I have enjoyed my many years of working with the Trucker Buddy family and it’s been one of the most satisfying things I’ve done in my career,” said Schwartzenburg. “I look forward to spending more time with my grandchildren and my family. Plus, I may find a little time to squeeze in some golf as well.”
