Book Description
If there's one thing truck drivers enjoy, it's telling stories from the road. From near-death experiences to narrow escapes and with a diversity of characters and locations all over the country, this book describes life on the road for one American truck driver. From drama to physical danger to maddening actions, he describes the stories with a wry sense of humor that will leave you either scratching your head in bewilderment or laughing out loud. This book contains stories of the author's interaction with people from all over the country as a trainer for the industry. It also shows the diversity of the American experience, from people who lived in their vehicles to people dealing with personal issues, everyone looking to change the direction of their lives by learning a new skill. These stories are meant to be more entertaining than informative, a break from everyday monotony with a look into a lifestyle most will never experience. From driving through ice and snowstorms for days at a time to high winds and traffic jams, the stories cover it all. So grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and enjoy the ride.

Book Description
Spirit of the Road: The Life of an American Trucker...and his cat embarks on a one-year journey across the United States in an eighteen-wheeler. It runs the gambit from a wide-eyed rookie in Commercial Driving school to the eventual embracing of a new lifestyle at a dusty little truck stop in Crab Orchard, Tennessee.Having made the transition to trucking after spending 20 years in television broadcasting, the author sets a comical tone from the very first chapter in a “fish-out-of-water” story. However, the dangers and challenges of life in a big truck are very real, and the book takes on a more somber tone to describe this aspect of road life. The reader is also introduced to little-known, funny, or unusual historical facts about some of the places visited while they are along for the ride. The objective of this book is to give the reader an entertaining, yet candid, picture of the life of a long haul trucker with a little slice of Americana on the side. This book always keeps the reader in mind, and strives to both inform and entertain. Another unique feature is the inclusion of a traveling cat in the story. The comical and, sometimes, poignant adventures of “Kitty” are interwoven throughout the book and promises to hold appeal for pet lovers. The trucking lifestyle has been depicted in various television series and movies and, as with any job that holds a degree of adventure and danger, it sparks the interest of the general public. The life of the American trucker still holds a bit of the rugged explorer's lifestyle. The trucker is usually far from home and uncertain what lies around the next bend. Curiosity about the unknown is an attractive feature to the general reader. Spirit of the Road: The Life of an American Trucker is a book that touches into a cornerstone of a lifestyle that few people know about, but that hides a passionate group that bears further study, namely, truck drivers.

Book Description
Wit, wisdom, adventure, and revelations from sixty years on the road. They say that only truck drivers experience the true grandeur and landscape of America: the winding mountainsides at sunrise, the first frosts of winter descending on apple orchards, the call of the rising roosters. In A Trucker's Tale, Ed Miller gives an inside look at the allure of the work and the colorful characters who haul our goods on the open road. He shares what it was like to grow up in a boisterous trucking family, his experience as an equipment officer in Vietnam, the wide range of vehicles he's mounted, and the daily trials, tribulations, risks, and exploits that define life as a trucker. Ed's vibrant, no-holds-barred tales are hilarious and heartwarming, sometimes cringeworthy or unbelievable—recollections of heroic feels as well as the “fishing stories” that have stretched and shifted from CB radio to CB radio. Many are the results of what he calls, “just plain stupidity.” Others bring to light the small acts of kindness and grand gestures that these Knights of the Highway perform each day, as well as the safety risks and continual danger that these essential workers endure. Together they paint a compelling portrait of one of the most important, but least-known industries, and reveal why Ed, and so many like him, just kept on truckin’.

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.
