Story Overview

This is the story of a sixty-plus-year-old individual who became bored with retirement and took up a new career as an owner-operator of an interstate heavy truck, running it from coast to coast and from the Canadian border to the Mexican border for over a half-million miles. The author was the sole driver and tells of his experiences over the road.
