A Different Job - But Still Your Trucker Buddy!

Hey Kids,

I want to let you know that I have changed truck companies. I no longer drive for Knight Transportation as of last week. I now work for a company called Upstaging, Inc.

I have been trying to get a job with this company for almost a year. I won't be hauling general merchandise anymore. Upstaging hauls staging and lighting for performers and bands. A few names we haul for that you may know are Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers. We haul for a lot of major and well known singers.

The positive thing about this job is that I will be going to more cities and even Canada! I will be able to send you pics and video from literally all over the United States.

I will update you more soon. The pics I posted are of my new truck. This truck is really nice as it has a lot more room inside and it has a fridge! Of course I like the red. This truck is called a Peterbilt and i have always wanted to drive one.

I hope you are having a great summer! I look forward to speaking to each and every one of you in a few months! Be good kids and have fun!

Blessings,
~TruckerTony

End of The Year Already?

Hi Kids,

It is so hard for me to believe that the end of the school year is now here! Can you believe you have finished another year, and move up a grade? I am very excited for you, and a bit sad too :(

I want you to know how privileged I am to have had the opportunity to share my experiences and family with you. I truly feel like I know a few of you even though I have not met you. The past month has been difficult for me to keep up with you and I have missed addressing a few of your comments and I apologize for that.

I am going to keep blogging even though school is out, so when you leave school this Friday have Ms Sison give you the website address so that you can look at my blog from your home if your parents say it is okay. I will keep adding pictures too! You are ALWAYS welcome to post a comment or question to me at any time.

I am in Corning, Ca tonight and am on my way to Oregon. I will be delivering Friday morning...your last day! The pictures above are of the Famous Shoe Tree near Cold Springs, Nevada on Hwy 50. Pretty cool, huh?

So, I will miss you and all the questions and comments you had for me. I wish each of you and your families the best. Have a wonderful summer, even if you are going to summer school (summer school is cool!). It has been a pleasure to be your Trucker Buddy, and you have helped make me a better person in the process. To all the parents; thank you for allowing me to share with your children. They have truly enriched and blessed my life.

Blessings,
~TruckerTony
