Description

192 pages. Totally jam-packed with black and white reproductions of fantastic archival photos, plus some in color. Glossary of Trucker Talk. "Trucking is a way of life, with its own perspective on the world. It is a job with dignity and plenty of responsibility. It has its heartaches and it has its high times. It offers independence and a whiff of freedom, but for most who get behind the wheel of a semi truck, it soon becomes an obsession. Here is the story of these individuals and their vehicles from the Pioneer period to the present day." - dust jacket. Umarked with average wear to book and dust jacket. A vintage gem for any fan of American trucking history. Book
