Big Rig: A Journey into the Longhaul World

Ever paused to wonder how that farm-fresh produce from California or Florida lands on your table? Or how your computer... Your bed... Your living room carpet... Or even the clothes that you're wearing arrive? 50 years ago, those goods would have all moved by train. Now they move by longhaul truck. In 19 or 20 ton lots. Rolling down the highway, in trailers longer than your house. What's it like to ride sitting high in one of those Big Rigs? What's it like to roll along the highway with 20 tons of cargo pushing you down the road. Cargo that has to be delivered not today, but yesterday - or the day before? "THE BIG RIG"... This is what longhaul is all about.Smith, D. S. is the author of 'Big Rig: A Journey into the Longhaul World' with ISBN 9781411657229 and ISBN 1411657225.
