Book Description
This is the story of a sixty-plus-year-old individual who became bored with retirement and took up a new career as an owner-operator of an interstate heavy truck, running it from coast to coast and from the Canadian border to the Mexican border for over a half-million miles. The author was the sole driver and tells of his experiences over the road. Go on these trips with him as you traverse each chapter, and learn a little about the lives of those who transport freight at highway speeds across the United States, sometimes carrying cargo up to twenty-five tons in those fifty-three-foot boxes, thirteen and a half feet high, called trailers, pulled by ten-wheel tractors, and similar combinations of double trailers, flatbeds carrying openly visible cargo.

The Saga of Trio de Dio
Author: Bothsams Publishing
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1525545426
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Zombies...everyone loves zombies - except Trio de Dio. Two military veterans, one a Highland Gordon and the other an Acadian from New Orleans, along with an American business student who hates his life and dreams of being a writer, are trying to survive a heat wave in Tucson, Arizona, when they discover that dreams really do come true. After a night of binge-watching zombie movies, the trio get woke - by an apocalypse. Unlike most zombie fans, Desré, Granville and Blake, "Trio de Dio," don't want to stick around for the end of the world. They have someplace else they need to be - a reservation in South Carolina called the "the Fish-Camp," where Desré's relatives live. First, they need to stop in New Orleans and rescue Desré's brother Frank, a blues guitarist. All along the corridor of I-10 East, they are thwarted and distracted by the border patrol, hapless citizens, dizzy hippies, a steampunk band with flaming bagpipes, Coachella fanatics, zoo animals, Civil War reenactments, and a mysterious gentleman with a top hat and a shovel. Dodging supernatural entities and not-so-natural disasters at every stop, the Trio leave chapters of their saga at every misfortunate junction for "lost Lenores" to find, inviting them to rendezvous at the Fish Camp. This is not your ordinary zombie apocalypse and Trio de Dio are not your ordinary heroes. The Mojo Rising series invites readers and fans to come along for the ride as future contributors to the ongoing saga under a full publishing agreement as part of Bothsams Publishing's commitment to fostering independent creative collaboration.
