Little Truckers’ Club – Introducing tomorrow’s operators

Hi everyone

You may not know it, but you are the operators of tomorrow. Opportunities will open up in front of your eyes, and even though it’s hard to believe, many of you will one day see your name on the side of a big, beautiful machine, or maybe many big, beautiful machines. Somewhere among you are the Dynes, Booths, Sollys, Emmersons, Murphys, Blairs, and Knowles of tomorrow’s transport scene.

That’s why school is so important. Getting a good, basic education will always pay you back time and time again. We know it is sometimes tough to understand where English, maths, science, and all the subjects fit in, so we are here to help!

New Zealand Trucking will help you start your journey to becoming tomorrow’s operators and amaze you with just how much you already know. Each month, we will give you an exercise related to trucking, and you can send in your answer. We will also highlight which school subject is helping you, so you can get an idea of where it all fits in. There’ll be random prizes, and at the end of the year, someone will win a really cool prize.

Let’s get going!

Guess what? Your journey to being an operator of tomorrow has just begun. How cool is that?

Exercise 1 Give your company a name and design a logo

Every company needs a name and a cool logo. Yours is no different; so let’s see them. Something that catches the eye and makes people say, “Wow! I want my product on their truck!”

There are lots of cool and famous logos in New Zealand’s road transport industry. At the top of this page are some great examples.

School subjects you’re using in Exercise 1

English: Make sure you spell your company name correctly!

Art: Make it ‘pop’. In other words stand out and catch the eye.

In for the long haul

Guess what?

We’re going to put your name on a spreadsheet and tick off those who do the exercises each month. That will be a special club to be in, won’t it? You just never know what might happen.
