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.
