Convoy's Mascot is 'Sami -Trook' - Safety-Sami. PLEASE READ WHY!!! The idea of Safety Sami (Sami-Trook) is for drivers to carry him in their Trucks - at all times - on the Highways and Byways. Should you come across an accident on the road (and it is usually a TRUCKIE who stops to help first and calls the Emergency Teams), you can give your 'Safety Sami-Trook' to an injured or traumatised child to help settle them. If you have the details of When and Where the accident took place, plus which Emergency people who attended, and if possible - the child's name (which will NOT be published anywhere without the family's permission - see our Privacy Policy page), we will verify that you gave your Safety-Sami to an injured/traumatised child at the accident scene. We may have sponsors to replace YOUR Sami-Trook (some conditions apply as above). NOTE: These details MUST be given to us as verification for Sami-Trook to be replaced. You are welcome to personally purchase as many Safety-Sami's as you want. If your company would like to consider becoming a sponsor for drivers who have given their Safety-Sami to an injured child, you can contact us on: Within Australia: 1300 266 869 or International: 613 9876-2983: Click the 'Truckie Mates Team' link to email your enquiry and/or to leave your contact details for us to contact you The Truckie Mates Team
