Andi Cooley is our guest. Andi is a nurse at the University Medical Center. Prior to her work at UMC, Andi was a truck driver. She shares her stories of both occupations including her participation in “Trucker Buddy”!
"Trucker Buddy International" started in 1992 and is dedicated to helping educate and mentor school children via a pen pal relationship between professional truck drivers and children in grades K-8. Trucker Buddy matches classes of students with professional truck drivers. Every week drivers share news about their travels with their class. Once a month, students write letters to their drivers. Students' skills in reading, writing, geography, mathematics, social studies, and history are enhanced and learning is fun.
