In The Driver's Seat: Interstate Trucking -- a Journey Review

I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this book, and it took a few pages to capture my interest. I did enjoy reading the many vignettes from the author's experiences driving a truck. People in most jobs can relate to the frustrations with poor managers, incompetent peers, and overly-rosy job descriptions. I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my review. The only thing I felt was missing was a few lines about what the author did after the events of the book. The book was well-edited; I did not find grammatical or spelling errors.
Overall, I would recommend this book as a good read.

People asked me, "What's interstate trucking like? What's it really like out there on the road?" My short answer was always the same. "You have to like being alone." In The Driver's Seat -- memoir, travelogue, portrait of an industry -- is the long answer.One month after his 45th birthday, Marc Mayfield became a long-haul truck driver, something he'd always wanted to do. Away from home for weeks at a time, he crisscrossed America in 18-wheelers. Drove into sunsets and, often, through the night. Learned firsthand that truckers compensated by the mile are shortchanged with each paycheck, that the federal Hours of Service of Drivers are as unrealistic as they are dangerous, that every day out there brought threats to his truck, his cargo, and his life. But he loved the solitude of a truck cab and traveled more than one million accident-free miles. Along the way, he all but destroyed his marriage. Then he met someone he didn't know he'd been looking for: Himself.

A great text featuring concise definitions and great illustrations! My truck driving school, Transportation Center For Excellence (TCE), bases their curriculum on this book. I'm going to keep my copy with me on the road. It will serve as a handy reference.
