Trucker Tom

I've been a trucker for the last ten years but now I am back home at "Camp Chaos" and I will be working at the Fontana terminal as a safety specialist. I hope now that I'm home I'll have a lot more time for blogging!

It was a cloudy, rainy Monday at the elementary school. The kids were going to get to see an 18 wheeler close up. Climb up in the cab, use the step ladder to get in the trailer. They all seemed to enjoy themselves. Billy Jack the bear will be traveling around the country sending back post cards about his travels. How many 50 pound kids could an 18 wheeler carry? The kids guessed 100, then 200. They couldn't believe I could carry somewhere around 950 kids before I would be overloaded. I held up a can of Del Monte Corn. Many of our canned vegetables come from Minneapolis MN. How do they get to your supermarket? Trucks carry pallets of canned vegetables to supermarket distribution centers. From there they are trucked to the local supermarket. In fact, everything you have, except maybe your little sister, came to you by truck!
