Book excerpt: Truckers everywhere love their trucks, and when they're not driving them they love nothing better than talking about them. Tim Chadwick has been out on the highways and the byways to track down some of the most interesting Kiwi truckers and find out what makes them tick. The result is The Kiwi Trucker's Guide to Life, a fascinating snapshot of a collection of truckies, both male and female, who tell their stories and give their opinions on a wide range of topics. Tim has gone on the road to photograph them with their multi-wheeled pride and joys, the big rigs that are often their biggest asset, their biggest debt and their home and livelihood all rolled into one. These long-distance Knights of the Road come in all shapes and sizes, and their stories, philosophies of life and favourite pie stops, trucks, memorable moments on the road and pet hates are often unexpected, always interesting and full of horsepower. You see life differently from behind the wheel of a big rig thundering through the night and the truckers have a lot of time to think and some interesting stories to tell. Come along for the ride - you won't be disappointed.

David Hamel, a mechanical engineer, and Shelley Hamel, past Director of Product Development for the American Girl doll company, decide to ditch their urban life and go to truck-driving school. For David, driving school was a piece of cake. For Shelley, it was murder.

Book Synopsis This Truckin' Life by : Laurie Driver
Download or read book This Truckin' Life written by Laurie Driver and published by . This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a set of reflections and recollections of a driver's 40 plus years in the hard and unforgiving world of the haulage and transport industry. It delves into the methods resorted to, in order to survive and make ends meet for him and his family, in a world where the driver is considered the lowest of the low. There is both humour and pathos and some love and some violence. There are tales of underhand dealings, fiddles and thievery. It tells of times when truck driving was a man's world. Hard relentless toil, long, unsocial hours when there was no power steering and all gearboxes were constant mesh. When roping and sheeting was the norm. When trucking wasn't just a job. It was a way of life

Book Synopsis Spirit of the Road by : Rick L. Huffman
Download or read book Spirit of the Road written by Rick L. Huffman and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-07-07 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spirit of the Road: The Life of an American Trucker...and his cat embarks on a one-year journey across the United States in an eighteen-wheeler. It runs the gambit from a wide-eyed rookie in Commercial Driving school to the eventual embracing of a new lifestyle at a dusty little truck stop in Crab Orchard, Tennessee.Having made the transition to trucking after spending 20 years in television broadcasting, the author sets a comical tone from the very first chapter in a “fish-out-of-water” story. However, the dangers and challenges of life in a big truck are very real, and the book takes on a more somber tone to describe this aspect of road life. The reader is also introduced to little-known, funny, or unusual historical facts about some of the places visited while they are along for the ride. The objective of this book is to give the reader an entertaining, yet candid, picture of the life of a long haul trucker with a little slice of Americana on the side. This book always keeps the reader in mind, and strives to both inform and entertain. Another unique feature is the inclusion of a traveling cat in the story. The comical and, sometimes, poignant adventures of “Kitty” are interwoven throughout the book and promises to hold appeal for pet lovers. The trucking lifestyle has been depicted in various television series and movies and, as with any job that holds a degree of adventure and danger, it sparks the interest of the general public. The life of the American trucker still holds a bit of the rugged explorer's lifestyle. The trucker is usually far from home and uncertain what lies around the next bend. Curiosity about the unknown is an attractive feature to the general reader. Spirit of the Road: The Life of an American Trucker is a book that touches into a cornerstone of a lifestyle that few people know about, but that hides a passionate group that bears further study, namely, truck drivers.
