This is a grate book about the first hand observations of a USA truck driver.The writer is honest and intelligent, and writes of all the experiences he encountered whilst working as a truck driver and puts forward solutions to most of the problems, besides that - its a good read even if you dont want to work as a truck driver.The writer has a good perspective of truck driving because he has worked in many different fields outside of the transport industry. Im very happy with my purchase and recommend the book.

When I was a kid I often romanticized driving a big rig. Then I went to college, got a desk job, and followed the normal course of life. The author of this book is a free spirit who has worked many different careers (including desk jobs) and has now found trucking to be a good career. He is forthright, humorous, and very good at describing the life of a trucker. I found myself laughing and enjoying the book as if I had rode along with him. He is also very honest and explains why trucking may not be for everyone. The one area I wish he would have expanded upon was the pay rates and the financial details of trucking. This would be very useful information for someone thinking about becoming a trucker. All in all it was a very good introduction to the career of trucking for someone interested in that profession.
