The Long Haul submitted by Laurie Bluemlein on December 6, 2018, 3:15pm <<
Different in a good way submitted by JJM.Deucher on August 4, 2023, 6:32am Nice to read a memoir not by some famous celebrity and instead about a genuinely interesting everyday guy. Didn't make me want to be a trucker, but was a reminder of the unique and memorable things about jobs and life on the road.
