As I arrived home this year for Christmas, I was excited to find that I had received an envelope from my trucker buddy class. I opened the envelope to find an assortment of handmade Christmas cards from the entire class and a large bi-fold card in the shape of a Christmas wreath with painted fingerprints from the second grade class. It was apparent that every child spent time detailing each card and making them unique. This year’s class has enjoyed communicating with me about trucking and specifics about my job. I have kept them informed about the places I have been and the events I have been a part of throughout the year. The kids tell me about all of the interesting activities they enjoy in school. I am planning on dropping by for a visit to the class to meet the students and have some fun answering their questions and talking about my trucking career.


Being a part of the trucker buddy program is a rewarding experience for me and many others who are a part of it. I feel as though I have received a lot from the class and it’s fantastic to see the children asking questions and getting excited about the trucking industry.

I hope everyone is enjoying a great holiday season.

Our classes are in France and it is really awesome to get these letters, pictures, and for us post cards. The teacher uses the postcards and emails we send as tools to teach her students about the United States. Really a great program.
