Book Description
Following instructions of the next Secret Mission Scroll, the noble Walnut Warriors embarked on an adventure far from the safety of their Misty Forest homeland: A trek truly into uncharted, extremely rugged territory; and, farther on into, perhaps, a perilous unknown. Aware menacing obstacles may await the courageous explorers; clubs were kept at the ready, in hand. Traversing perilously deep terrain fissures, dangerous rocks and huge boulders many times the size of the Warriors would have been impossible, had the Secret Mission Scroll not warned of the need to create and build suitable all terrain vehicles; thus, the creation of (with, of course, CashShoe technological assistance) Walnut Warrior Monster Trucks. Yes, indeedy, successful all terrain vehicles were created; BUT, WHAT ABOUT RAGING WATERFALLS AND TREACHEROUS, SCALY, GREEN-LOG BEASTIES? Could the Warrior Monster Trucks cope; could the Walnut Warriors survive? What of a possible treasure discovery? Readers know, will you? Accompanied by the Author's fully-colored illustrations (referred to and coined by Lance as technical cartooning), The Walnut Warriors (Go Monster Truckin') is a treasure trove of fun and adventure, seeded with nuggets of wisdom. For children of all ages, an excellent choice of reading material for parents who want to make storytelling and reading as educational as it is entertaining.

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.

Book Description
Truckin With Bubba and I Aint Bubba presents a perceptive and amusing account of the experiences of a successful, award-winning Class A CDL driving instructor. When we would come to a hill, One Gear would raise the RPMs, take a stab at down shifting a couple of times, rake the gears, and then sit there in a catatonic state staring straight ahead, his eyes bulging with fear, his arms straight out, and his hands frozen to the steering wheel. One night we were rolling down a long six-percent grade, gaining speed. Did you shift down? Yeah. Is the Jake brake on? Yeah. I dont hear it working. Its on. I reached over and took a hold of the shifting lever. It was in neutral. Its not in gear, I told him. If you think the hand of God is going to come down and put it in gear for you, youre going to see the hand of God a lot sooner than you think. Put your foot on the accelerator and raise the RPMs. He managed that and I shoved it into a gear. Any gear was better than no gear. When you cant get the gear you want, you have to get it in some gear and then work to the one you want.

Book Description
Did the 'Good Old Days' ever really exist? Mick Rennison is not so sure. After miraculously passing his test in an Atkinson Borderer way back in 1974, Mick drove in the days when crooks and con men seemed to run the haulage industry. And Mick worked for most of them! Earning crap wages from arrogant bosses with the constant threat of your P45 hanging over your head, he learned his trade through trial and error - many trials and lots of errors. His career took him all over Europe and Scandinavia taking musical shows to Norway, JCBs to Greece and supermarket deliveries down to Gibraltar. Driving for a variety of firms he double manned trucks with his wife Jo for nearly 10 years. Along the way he has been blown over in high winds, outwitted hijackers and held hostage by striking Spanish drivers. Now living on a narrow boat on the Grand Union Canal, Mick is approaching retirement and reflects on his varied career. With humour and not a little sarcasm, he concludes that as good as those days were he certainly wouldn't want to go back.

Book Description
Donna Carver gives us a funny and interesting look at the trucking industry and the trucker’s CB radio slang. From the passenger seat of a 'sure enough store bought large car', she's 'stylin and profilin', checking out the 'seat covers', and watching the 'bushes for bears' as she gets the ride of her life. Ride with Donna as she shares her stories from the road. Sometimes funny and some sad, like when she sees New York after 9/11.
