The class watched the
video about the truck tip over. Good thing you are a good driver. Other wise we would not have a trucker buddy. In science
we are studying sound. We have to make an instrument. I am making maracas. Mrs. Phouybanhdyt is making us do all of
us do spelling words in cursive. It is very hard. I am very happy that Obama is the president of the United States. We also
watched the inauguration in class. It was very good. Sincerely Aleighah. Hi
Aleighah......Thanks
for the compliment!! Don't get me wrong, I do try my best driving. I have been close to wrecking my truck.
I have never been close to doing anything like that one video of that truck flipping over on Donnor
Pass on I80 in western California. I have gone over that mountain several times and always crawl down that hill because
I do know what can happen. When I was in truck driving school, one of the first things the instructor told
us we have all day to come down a mountain but we have 1 shot to do it. Like that video showed that new driver out with
a trainer, the trainer should have been behind the wheel showing that new driver how to come down a mountain especially that
one. If I am not mistaken that downgrade is something like 30 or 40 miles leading down into Sacramento. Here is
a website telling you about Donnor Pass http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donner_Pass . As for cursive, I normally print everything because my cursive is kind of hard to read, hehe.
I didn't get a chance to watch the Inaugration but I was listening to everything on the XM Radio while I was sitting in Las
Vegas, Nevada. ******************************************************************************* Hi trucker buddy I want
to tell you a little bit about are last reward movie it is called chitty chitty bang bang there was a dad and
two kids they went to a castle they hid in a toy makers shop and a mean old guy looked in a special little box and clowns
popped out of it the dad popped out and then the two kids did and the mean old man did not see them but he did smell
them ok that’s anought about that I also wanted to ask u how you got the pictures of Oboma that’s neat thanks
for being our trucker buddy Sincerely
Alexus Hi Alexus......Ya I have seen that movie. I like that movie myself.
It is my pleasure to be apart of your class. This is one thing I really enjoy doing and bragging about. As far
as the pictures of Obama, Margie and Dave found them. They have been a real big help I wouldnt be able to do half the
site without thier help. *********************************************************************************** Hi this is Alexis the picture
you had on your holiday website is so cool I like the one with the jailer boy went to jail and he fell in love that was so
funny that’s all I have to say buy cant wait for your next letter back buy This
is Margaret I work along with Rick and created the page you are talking about. As funny as that legend has
it, believe it or not over in the third countries, still today that holds true! That's right! If a teenager display love
to another, the female gets stoned to death! Can you imagine? I am so glad I live in the USA! *************************************************************************************** Hello, trucker buddy
its Camie. Today my class learned how to do rays, lines, line segments and intersecting
lines in math. It is a lot of fun and hard too.I am very excited for Valentines day are you? In class
we are reading a book called Codys Secret Admirer. What
kind of book did you read when you were a kid? Sincerely, Camie Hi Camie Hmm some of my favorite books
that I liked when I was a kid were Where The Red Fern Grows Charlotte's Web. I still enjoy reading today but not as
many books but trucking magizines and stuff like that. I believe when you quit reading you quit learning. Sounds
like in math class you are doing some of the things I really didnt care for but just remember math is a very important subject.
I use it on a daily basis whether it is for figuring out how much cargo I can put on my trailer and get it to scale right
to finding out my fuel mileage. Math was always one of my favorite subjects in school besides for history. For
Valentine's Day it is gonna I think the first time when I will actually be home for it since I first started driving truck
back in 2004. Just gotta finish out this run that I am on now, loaded in Kissimmee Florida going up to Clinton Arkansas.
A load of shingles and reload going up to Milwaukee area. Then not sure where I am headed yet. Hi Rick, Thanks
for the email. The kids were happy to hear from you. They have a few questions for you and somethings
they'd like you to know. Did you have to drive in any snow? We have March Madness Week here at
school. Today was Wacky Hair day so kids are lookin' pretty funny! We
are studying the 3 R's in science. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Do you use
any of those in your trucking? Talk to you soon, Mrs. Schroden and 2nd graders Hello Mrs. Schroden and Class As for driving in the snow I do drive
in the snow to a point. If the roads are getting slicker than I feel safe to
drive that is when I park it and wait for the weather to improve. I am one of
those drivers who really don’t want to push it too far if the roads are real slick. I have seen a lot of wrecked trucks
in the past several winters due to roads being real slick and drivers driving way too fast in the snow. I do try to reuse and recycle as often as I can. Like for reducing, I have
done some things to my truck where I get better fuel mileage which reuses the amount of fuel I use. One thing I did was put a generator on my truck which will burn about a gallon of fuel in 10 hours versus
running the engine which uses a gallon of fuel an hour. Another thing that I
have done to my truck to save fuel was I put what’s a called a super single tire in the drive tire positions. That saved me about 400 pounds of weigh and having the one big tire instead of the set of duels saves the
rolling resistance which also saves fuel. The ways I recycle, I reuse my paper
I use it multiple times that I use for getting load information and I also recycle my cans and bottles I use. Science class was one of my favorite
subjects in school. My favorite Science teacher was one I had in the 10th grade
named Mr. Rudy. At times he could be real boring but if anyone started to nod
off in his class he threw erasers at them to wake them up. One day I remember
we decided to take the erasers and hide them and we nodded to each other and returned the erasers by tossing them back at
him. He got a big kick out of it. Have a great day everyone Rick Rogers WH Transportation Truck 7218L
