Trucker Buddy at Truck Show Las Vegas
Every year Leonard Emery takes a few days off from driving for Apex Bulk Commodities so he can attend The Truck Show Las Vegas. Emery, also known as³Sandpaper,² helps out in the Trucker Buddy booth so he can tell other drivers about the benefits of being in the program.
This year, Sandpaper will again talk to drivers who pass through
the exhibit hall at the Las Vegas Convention center, June 10, 11
and 12th. Sandpaper
has been a Trucker
Buddy participant since 1996, and currently corresponds with a
fourth grade class in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. These students
send
letters to Sandpaper each month, asking him about his job, his
truck and the products he hauls. In return, they receive postcards
from around the country, which allow them to track the truck and
driver while learning geography, math and writing skills.
In addition to telling drivers about the Trucker
Buddy program, Sandpaper will be helping promote a 64 scale Die
Cast Mike Ryan Trucker
Buddy
collector¹s edition truck. Mike Ryan¹s rig will be on display
inside the convention center throughout the show, and can be seen
at booth 2245, near
the antique truck display. Ryan (www.fastrucks.com) races his rig
up Pike¹s Peak each year and currently holds the record for the
fastest time in the
big rig division. The collector¹s edition model is a three-piece
replica of Ryan¹s Freightliner racer along with the transporter
tractor and trailer
unit. Ryan will be available for autographs on Friday from
4:00-5:00 pm and again on Saturday from 1:00-3:00 pm. The proceeds
from the sale of these
models ($55 each) help fund Trucker
Buddy, which is a non-profit charitable organization.
The Truck Show Las Vegas will be open from 10:00 am each day, June 10-12. Along with the Mike Ryan race truck display, there will be antique trucks from across the country, and show rigs competing for prizes in the Stars and Stripes competition. Drivers can also attend seminars conducted by J J Keller & Associates all three days of the show or they can stop and check out the Expediting area or the recruitment center.
