Book Description
Teddy is born to be a trucker. At an early age, Teddy saw how truckers made a difference and he quietly decided that one day he would drive a truck and make a difference too. Teddy's father was a Sergeant in the Transport Division of the U.S. Army. He drove a huge canvas-covered truck and delivered whatever America's military needed. Sometimes it was airplane or helicopter parts; sometimes it was food and uniforms and tents; and sometimes it was medical supplies or building equipment. After the Army, the Sergeant became a long-haul truck driver, who delivered everything.When Teddy was still in Kindergarten, he told his mother, Mama, he wanted to drive a truck when he grew up. She said there was more to trucking than driving, and Teddy was to have a good education with a lot of geography, math and science in his school work. Education was important to Mama. She was a teacher and taught the Army's school children wherever the Sergeant was assigned, which was all over the country and one or two foreign countries. Every night, after dinner, he sat at the family dining room table with his books and his computer and his determination to become the best trucker ever.The story's climax follows Teddy's birthday adventure, and involves a big storm, a helpful trucker and a big rescue.

Book Description
The Truckers Nightmare enters a darker side of the events that take place in the trucking world. Things can change so drastically without a moments notice. The simple task of delivering a load to a customer could very quickly turn into a series of events where one could possibly be facing his own demise. The events in these stories are about the lives, hardships, and unexpected, life changing circumstances that occur, in the lonely life of a driver out on the road. The fatigue, the stress, and the insanity that can consume the very life and can even go as far as to destroy one's family are written in these pages. The long hours, unexpected break downs, delays, and time away from home, along with the lonely nights and even longer days, test the men and women, bringing them to a point, in many cases of no return. Many of them allow the insanity that consumes them to run rampant in their lives, while others become victims of circumstances, unaware of the consequences involved. Others become victims of their environment, not being able to have a say in what happens to them. The stories in this series are each written with its own unexpected story line and twists to throw the reader off.

Book Description
In spite of the obstacles the Alaska truckers were presented with they never weakened in their determination to get the job done. These pioneer drivers never conquered or tamed Alaska's roads and weather, but they learned to operate on the back trails and paths--always making their way to the trip's end. In spite of all the challenges, they never quit. The following from Teddy Roosevelt is an appropriate salute to Alaskan truckers: "It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that high place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." Eighteen Wheels North to Alaska: A History of Trucking in Alaska is the story of Alaskan drivers who guided, coaxed, pushed, pulled, plowed, and somehow made it to the end of the road--and beyond--over high mountain passes, whiteout conditions, seventy below zero temperature, through mud, muck, and tundra terrain--even onto the Arctic Ocean ice beyond the shore.
