Little Truckers’ Club

Blue, Rochelle’s little lamb.

HI LITTLE TRUCKERS!

Spring is here, and things should be warming up real soon. I have got myself a wee lamb. He is so cute and follows me everywhere. His name is Blue because he got some of my blue paint on his face the day I found him.

Congratulations to five-year-old Eden Kireka, who found the Little Truckers’ Club logo on page 13 of the August issue. Well done also to 11-yearold Alexia Ogle from Normanby, who won the missing word draw. The missing word was Mitsubishi. Keep an eye out on your mailboxes – something cool is coming your way.

I got to meet the July ‘find the logo’ winner, Amelia, and give her an awesome New Zealand Trucking cap. We even got a cool photo of her in front of her dad’s truck.

Don’t forget, if you would like to see yourself here in Little Truckers’ Club, all you need to do is email your stories, jokes, photos, and/or drawings to me at rochelle@nztrucking. co.nz with a wee paragraph telling us about them along with your name and age. We love seeing them all.

Jamie Sinclair sent in this photo of his boys playing in his truck. One-year-old Hamish is driving and four-yearold Ewan is playing dispatcher. It looks like they are well on their way to following in Dad’s footsteps! Amelia in front of her dad’s truck.
