Description
Why did trucking go from the safest to the unsafest overnight? Why did the truckers go from upper middle class to lower middle class? Why did over-the-road drivers go from the knights of the road, to minimum-wage, aggressive bullies? This book explains it all. Plus, it will take you on trips that will teach you how to keep from killing yourself, or some poor four-wheeler. It will explain to you how to become a professional driver like the author who spent sixty years on the road.
