Aaron Tippin helped select the winner of the third annual Arrow’s “Back on the Road” campaign. “Back on the Road” awards one deserving driver a new 18-wheeler that, in turn, provides them the opportunity to get back to the road and stay on course.

After being nominated by his teenage daughter Savannah, Robert Snyder of Dunnellon, Fla. was selected as the winner. As the sole provider for his family, Snyder was hit particularly hard when the economy nosedived. Diesel prices soared, job opportunities became scarce, and Snyder’s 14-year-old truck, with more than 1.5 million miles on the odometer, was one breakdown away to leaving him unemployed.

“Driving is my life and I know receiving the Volvo from Volvo Trucks North America and job with Heartland will help me provide my family with the life they deserve,” Snyder said. “I am blessed to have this opportunity to represent Arrow Truck Sales and all the great companies who have joined in this campaign to make life better for hardworking people like me.”

Tippin has participated in the selection process for the past two years.

“It’s a tough time for everyone and I believe the truckers carry a good portion of the burden,” Tippin added. “America thrives on the trucking industry and the hard working men and women who bring goods to our grocery stores and front doors. It does my heart good to be involved in an event, and an association such as this, to keep these folks on the road; working to not only provide for their families, but all of us.”
