Book Preview – A Trucker’s Life: Book One

Content:
This is a collection of short stories from my working life as a professional truck driver.

The first three chapters explore how trucking was never my first career choice—and how that changed over time. Chapters 4 and 5 explain how I got into this life in the first place, and the direction it seemed to be heading.

The chapters about Overnite Transportation offer a detailed look at a company that respected and appreciated its employees. There was a real sense of teamwork, with management and drivers working together to build something phenomenal—until the company was sold to an entity with far less interest in its people.

In contrast, the chapters about Conway show how a business model, while strict and efficient, can slowly wear down even the most loyal and respectful employees. What began with high hopes eventually revealed how not all companies truly have their workers’ best interests at heart.
