Download or read book A Trucker's Tale written by Ed Miller and published by Apollo Publishers. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wit, wisdom, adventure, and revelations from sixty years on the road. They say that only truck drivers experience the true grandeur and landscape of America: the winding mountainsides at sunrise, the first frosts of winter descending on apple orchards, the call of the rising roosters. In A Trucker's Tale, Ed Miller gives an inside look at the allure of the work and the colorful characters who haul our goods on the open road. He shares what it was like to grow up in a boisterous trucking family, his experience as an equipment officer in Vietnam, the wide range of vehicles he's mounted, and the daily trials, tribulations, risks, and exploits that define life as a trucker. Ed's vibrant, no-holds-barred tales are hilarious and heartwarming, sometimes cringeworthy or unbelievable—recollections of heroic feels as well as the “fishing stories” that have stretched and shifted from CB radio to CB radio. Many are the results of what he calls, “just plain stupidity.” Others bring to light the small acts of kindness and grand gestures that these Knights of the Highway perform each day, as well as the safety risks and continual danger that these essential workers endure. Together they paint a compelling portrait of one of the most important, but least-known industries, and reveal why Ed, and so many like him, just kept on truckin’.

That one question and Jack's acceptance changed Jack's life forever. Don't get to thinking that you know the story already. What happens is not what you might think. It's much stranger.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Running Legal Blues by Jeff Head The book made me laugh, cry and most importantly, think and very educational about the trucking industry. All words and descriptions used to describe Running Legal Blues by those that have taken the time to read and enjoy the book. Others have noted "Not a polished piece of work" and to them I say "Of course not." It was never intended for RLB to meet the very high standards that some readers demand. Instead, the book was written by a truck driver, in his own words, and straight from the heart. As you spend some time with me as I travel through the years starting out as a renegade trucker doing what it takes to put the load through to its destination, then in later years demanding to run safe and legal; you will find yourself learning and understanding the trucking industry as you have never understood it before. You will follow me through the changes in the industry and the drivers themselves as I become a safe and legal driver as more and more drivers are in today's world . Most importantly, you will see the obstacles that drivers face when they decide to do it the safe way, the legal way. Understand the roles that shippers and receivers, dispatchers and even the government play in the day to day life of an over the road truck driver. Most importantly, you will learn just what happens to a driver that decides to buck the system and demand to put safety and running legal above all those that do not have time for him to do so. Of all the things I would hope "Running Legal Blues" to do, I would hope that it will bring a better understanding between truckers and the traveling public that we share the road with. Highway safety is something that all must believe in if it is to save lives. In today's world there are thousands of truckers that know and understand this. If given a chance, if protected from those that would see these truckers starved out of the industry, their numbers will continue to grow. So hop in the jump seat and let us take a trip or two around the country. Let us see if you have what it takes to handle one of the big rigs out on the open road and all of the politics that come with the job.

Download or read book Truckin' Up! written by Donna Carver and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2003-05-01 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most of my life I gave little thought to big trucks and truck drivers except for the intimidation I would feel when those big rigs with their loud engines passed me on the road. I had some preconceived notion that all truck drivers were rough, tough cowboy types behind the wheel of a big truck, wearing blue jeans and boots, their shirt sleeves rolled up. It never occurred to me when I went to the store to buy my groceries, clothes or anything else that those things were all brought by truck. Some products are transferred from one truck to another several times over thousands of miles to get to their destination. I married a truck driver about nine years ago, and when I started riding with him he showed me a different side of this country, the side seen from behind the wheel of an eighteen-wheeled semi-tractor truck.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
