Gerald (Gerry) Lee Jones spent 47 years behind the wheel of a semi, navigating highways, back roads, loading docks, and life’s many detours. From his earliest days learning the ropes of trucking to running his own independent business, Gerry’s career reflects grit, endurance, and the unshakable pride of a true professional driver.
Through his books, A Trucker’s Life: Book One – The Company Driver Years and Book Two – The Independent Contractor Years, Gerry shares not only the long hauls and heavy loads but also the friendships, hardships, humor, and faith that defined his decades on the road.
Now retired from trucking, Gerry continues his journey as a storyteller, determined to honor the people, places, and lessons that shaped him along the way. His hope is simple: that readers will find inspiration, understanding, and maybe even a little of themselves within his story.
