Hey Kids,

First, Ms Sison should be receiving a package from me today or tomorrow. I sent some information to you about the state of New Mexico so that you can get a better idea of what is there.

Today I am picking up at a big Target warehouse and taking part of the load to Elko, NV and the rest of the load to Twin Falls, Idaho. I will be taking anything from medicine, to toys, to big appliances and other items you would buy in a Target store.

The load will be lite, so I should not use as much fuel which is good because fuel costs a lot of money. In fact, fuel and tires cost the most when driving a truck so we do all we can to use less fuel and make our tires last longer. One easy way for our tires to last longer is to keep the proper amount of air in them. I check my tires every day before i start driving to make sure I have 100 psi (pounds per square inch) in my tires. The car your mom and dad drives has about 35 psi in those tires.

About the pictures above; i don't know if I have told you this before, but i used to drive a train just like that! I was actually a locomotive engineer for a few years driving freight trains like the one pictured and then I drove the Amtrak trains you see where you live. I used to drive through Emeryville, Sacramento, Martinez and other cities up there by where you live.

The pictures at the very top show an area close to Cheyenne, Wyoming. The marker says that the rocks in that area are over 1 billion years old!

After I deliver on Thursday morning in Twin Falls, ID I am hoping that I can go south into Utah for a couple of days off. Be sure to write to me when you can. Let me know what you think of the stuff I sent to you! Be good Kids!

Blessings,
~TruckerTony

  2. Hi Trucker Tony!

    By the way, how many miles total was your trip from the Target warehouse to your final destination? Was it thousands of miles?

  5. Hi Alona,

    Actually, my company changed their mind and I did not go to the big Target warehouse. Instead, I am picking up dog food and taking it to Southern California today.

  6. Hi Judel,

    So I get to hear from you again! Do you have any questions for me? I have one for you; What is your most favorite subject to learn about in school?

  7. Hi Judel,

    I forgot to answer your question! I did not go on that trip because my company changed their mind. But if I did go, it would only have been about 500 miles I think.

  9. Hi Kristopher,

    I like these songs too. I have to find a way to change them to play other songs too. I have not figured that out yet.
