This book is dedicated to my wife, whose love, faith, and patience have carried me through every mile of this journey. You stood beside me through the long nights, the endless miles, and the painful struggles, and for that, I am forever grateful.
To my family, who gave me reasons to keep going when the road felt too heavy—you have always been my greatest source of strength.
To my fellow truck drivers, past and present—this is for you. May these stories honor the hard work, sacrifice, and resilience it takes to live life on the road.
And finally, to every reader who picks up this book—thank you for allowing me to share not just my career, but my heart. May you find in these pages not just the story of a trucker, but the spirit of perseverance, faith, and love that guided me through 47 unforgettable years.
