ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Childhood or wildhood? This collection of stories begins with a young boy whose cleverness, ability, and determination are more in line with an adult rather than the curious-minded six year old that we are introduced to in the first story. Normal was never to be a part of Marcel Pontbriand’s life. Orphaned at the tender young age of 14 and with only pennies to his name, you’ll read about how he took to the ice roads of Canada and met with fear, tragedy, and obstacles that only few could even imagine. Challenge, defeat, and the curses of Mother Nature would forge the young Marcel into a focused dreamer who would plan, re-examine his situation, and promise himself a better life, all the while pledging to help others along the way. Just like the highways of Canada and the U.S.A., it’s never a straight path to meet a timeline and a destination. These stories will take you on an adventure of one man’s life that was intertwined with controversy, crime, and corruption. It’s been a truckin’ hard life for Marcel Pontbriand, a life that he would not change in the least, because it molded him into what he became to be called; Cowboy of the Road He has driven more than 5 million miles behind the wheel of his Peterbilt rig. So, let us begin this incredible collection of true tales right now!

Pages : 230
Book Description
ABOUT THE STORY: When big-rig truck driver Hugh Mann picks up a mysterious hitchhiker on a lonely Nevada desert highway he experiences a series of adventures that end up threatening his very life. What is the connection between this enigmatic hitchhiker and the relentless, and brutal, series of attacks by a gang of truck hijackers? Follow Hugh as these events unfold and learn how they remind him of a similarly brutal fight at a truck stop that occurred 15 years before. Readers will experience never-before-revealed intimate details of life behind the wheel of a big-rig, over-the-road semi truck as they join Hugh in one hair-raising adventure after another until the unbelievable, page-turner, climactic, final episode. This isn't "Smokey and the Bandit," folks. It's a fictional portrayal of the reality of how dangerous life can be for truckers, with hijacking episodes that could be taken straight from today's news. EARLY REVIEWS: "Brilliant, BRILLIANT! Do you have a part 2 of this novel? Is there one coming? That was a serious page turner, Dave. Thank you for the opportunity to read your work. I loved it, and am so looking forward to the Crimson Highway sequel." "Holds interest from start to finish - Good character development with fast-paced action ... a real page-turner! It has all the elements of a good read ... mystery, drama and even a bit of romance with a couple of surprise twists you don't see coming." ABOUT THE AUTHOR: After 33 years behind a desk as a reporter, editor and newspaper publisher, Dave Wickenhauser experienced a "change of life" and decided to become an over-the-road truck driver. Many of the events that are presented in this fictional story of a truck driver actually happened to him in the course of his driving career. It is up to the reader to decide which events are real, and which are fictional. Follow the author's trucking-related news writing at TruckingTruth.com.

The Big Rig
Author: Steve Viscelli
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520962710
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
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.
