A Trucker's Tale

Wit, Wisdom, and True Stories from 60 Years on the Road

By: Ed Miller

Narrated by: Arthur Flavell

Wit, wisdom, and revelations from 60 years of life on the road.

Driving one highway after another at sunrise, winding through the mountainside, hearing the call to rise of the roosters, or simply exchanging "fishing stories" with the other guys at the truck stops. Like that one about the trucker who stopped along the highway and helped a little old lady who had a flat tire. By the time the trucker had told his tale a dozen times, the simple tire change story turned into one where an old lady was accompanied by her gorgeous, blond, and 21-year-old granddaughter - you know how that ends. Imagine the story traded from one driver to the next. Each time, a more outrageous yarn is spun.

They say that only truck drivers experience the true grandeur and landscape of America. 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 trucking family, his experience as an equipment officer in Vietnam, and the trials and tribulations of life as a trucker. His tales are often funny, sometimes sad, cringeworthy, or unbelievable. Many are the results of what he calls "just plain stupidity." Together they paint a compelling portrait of a vibrant but little-known industry, and reveal why he just kept on truckin'.

A cute, relevant story about a life spent driving

Even a four-wheeler ought to appreciate the candor and wisdom this author shares about a life spent on the road, the things we see, and the experiences we have. Very solid representation of the facts, told from a personal perspective across a few different job types.

Interesting

My husband is an owner/operator since 1982. We’ve been married since 1986. This book is very detailed In maintenance, loading and destination. If you know trucking, you can picture every detail. If you don’t, you’ll want to learn.

Trucking

I lived the experience. When you explain to people what do and all the things you’ve seen 😇😇😇

Great book

I am also a trucker. Great life this guy Ed is living. I can see Ed being an inspiration to other truckers. Respect from Alabama, keep truckin!

From the heart!

This book comes from the heart of the writer and you will look at truckers in a new light as they pass you in the daily.

Unexpectedly an awesome book!
