Highway America: The Life of a Trucker

Highway America is a scenic journey through forty states in an 18 wheel semi. It is one man’s experience of life on the road as an interstate trucker with many unexpected twists and turns. Peter Blakeborough writes about his employment and training, working conditions, pay rates, industry practices and driving hours. On his first solo delivery (no GPS) he travels 800 miles from Little Rock to Toledo, takes a load of Honda bikes to Florida and chemicals to Pennsylvania – and right into a dead-end with nowhere to turn. A journey from Iowa to Arizona is halted abruptly in the desert while the temperature is over 100°F. But for this driver/writer it’s all part of the adventure. You won’t put this book down until it’s finished.
