Nancy Musselman a second grade teacher at Silver Lake Grade
School nominated Jacquee Ward and Jorge Medina for Trucker
Buddy of the Month. "This team has catered to and taught and
challenged my students to learn more and be better people for
several years now. Their routes with U.S. Xpress Enterprises,
require them to travel various routes coast-to-coast and the
postcards they faithfully send make up a great deal of our social
studies curriculum. They write an amazing amount of information
on each one and try to get cards that teach something of each
state. This is a marvelous way for my children to learn US
geography with a personal tie that could never be as interesting
from a book", says Ms. Musselman.

The children ask their Trucker Buddies are going to be in town because they can have lunch with them and see thier truck. They are very generous with their hard-earned money as they always purchase items for the children that go way beyond the postcards. "Not one child has been able to resist their charms when they let them all crawl into the truck/home and stand on their bed and then each child gets to sit in the driver seat, pretending to talk on the CB and drive" comments Ms. Musselman. One thing that interests the Silver Lake class is that Jacquee and Jorge have been to each of the state in the nation and have stories from each none. One student said they liked the fact that Jorge can speak many different languages

Jorge and Jacquee are excellent candidates for Trucker of the Month for August 2009.
