Truck It!

The open road. It called to me a siren song of freedom and adventure. It promised escape from the confines of a predictable life a chance to see the country to meet new people and to forge my own path. It wasn't a glamorous vision not exactly. I knew from the start that life on the road wouldn't be easy. But there was a certain allure a mystique about the life of a trucker a blend of independence and responsibility that captivated me. The reality however proved to be far more complex and nuanced than any romanticized notion. What followed was a relentless journey of self-discovery a test of endurance a baptism by fire on the asphalt ribbons that crisscross the United States. This book is my attempt to capture the essence of that journey to convey the myriad of experiences emotions and challenges that defined my years behind the wheel.
