Schneider National Driver Featured on
CMT’s TRICK MY TRUCK Friday, July 27

 Owner Operator Dale Hayden’s “For the Cure” Tractor Makeover Airs at 8:30 p.m. CST

GREEN BAY, WIS. – JULY 25, 2007 – A long-time driver for Schneider National, Inc. (a premier provider of transportation, logistics and intermodal services) will get a taste of reality-show fame on Friday, July 27.  That evening, Dale Hayden of Lucama, N.C., will be featured on CMT’s popular big rig makeover series, ”Trick My Truck”, premiering at 8:30 p.m. CST.

Friday’s special episode of “Trick My Truck” features Hayden, who lost his mother to breast cancer in 1993. The episode shows how the Chrome Shop Mafia worked their unique brand of magic by transforming Hayden’s 1999 International tractor into a moving tribute in her honor. The exterior design of the truck (now named “For the Cure”) will help Hayden raise awareness of breast cancer as he drives Schneider’s freight across the country. The interior is now a baseball lover’s paradise—a perfect touch for the avid baseball fan and card collector.

“I still cannot believe it—I feel like I’ve won the lottery!” says Hayden. “Seeing it for the first time was an overwhelming experience. It tore me up when I saw the name of the truck painted on the back.”

The second new episode of the season introduces Hayden, who believes family comes first—a value instilled by his late mother. After her death, Hayden made it his duty to look after his siblings, even putting his life and trucking career on hold to take care of his sister when she was badly injured in a fall last year.

“I was carrying a load from Louisiana to Florida when I got the call about my sister,” he says.  “Within a half hour, Schneider had found another driver to take the load the rest of the way so I could get home to her.  In my nine years with Schneider, they’ve always been a good company to work for, so I was not surprised they were so accommodating to my family’s needs.”
