Download or read book The Big Rig written by Steve Viscelli and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016-04-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long-haul trucks have been described as sweatshops on wheels. The typical long-haul trucker works the equivalent of two full-time jobs, often for little more than minimum wage. But it wasn’t always this way. Trucking used to be one of the best working-class jobs in the United States. The Big Rig explains how this massive degradation in the quality of work has occurred, and how companies achieve a compliant and dedicated workforce despite it. Drawing on more than 100 in-depth interviews and years of extensive observation, including six months training and working as a long-haul trucker, Viscelli explains in detail how labor is recruited, trained, and used in the industry. He then shows how inexperienced workers are convinced to lease a truck and to work as independent contractors. He explains how deregulation and collective action by employers transformed trucking’s labor markets--once dominated by the largest and most powerful union in US history--into an important example of the costs of contemporary labor markets for workers and the general public.

Book excerpt: For the first time ever, here's an eye-opening look at the world of truck driving from the driver's seat. This book allows you to experience the reality of what it's like to drive one of those smoke-belching monstrous 18-wheelers while sitting safely in your recliner. Mary Ellen doesn't realize in her quest for financial stability she's stepping out of the box and squarely into the all-male bastion of trucking. Still, our female protagonist finds the strength to come out of every situation ready to face the next challenge. Her experiences are all here from navigating endless unfamiliar cities prior to GPS and cell phones, to backing her tractor-trailer into places she's sure a car wouldn't fit. Our protagonist overcomes it all. The Author takes you behind the wheel with her as you are swept from one adventure to the next, such as driving through a raging Wyoming blizzard to delivering to the infamous Hunt's Point Market in New York City. Where, for the first time, she considers carrying a gun. She shows the reader how this job is so much more than just driving it is a lifestyle. This is a book you will find hard to put down.
