If you know of a professional truck driver who was heroic or risked life and limb to help others on the road this year, the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. would like to know - but time is running out. Nominations for Goodyear's 21st annual North America Highway Hero program will be accepted through Nov. 30, 2003.

To be considered for this year's award, the nominee must be a full-time truck driver and a resident of the United States or Canada. The incident for which the person is nominated must have occurred in the United States or Canada. The nominee must also have been on the job or on the way to or from work, and in his or her rig at the time of the incident. The trucker's vehicle at the time of the incident must have 14 wheels or more.

The award covers incidents that occurred between Dec. 1, 2002, and Nov. 15, 2003, to qualify.

Nomination forms and program details may be obtained by calling the Goodyear Highway Hero Hotline at (330) 796-8183. The nomination form also is available on the program's Web site at www.highwayhero.net.

After the nomination period is closed, the list will be pared down to four finalists. From that group, one individual will be selected to serve as the ambassador for the program as the Goodyear North America Highway Hero.
