Book excerpt: This book is a set of reflections and recollections of a truck driver's forty plus years in the hard and unforgiving world of the haulage and transport industry. It delves into methods resorted to in order to survive and make ends meet for himself and his family, in a world where the truck driver is deemed the lowest of the low. There is humor, pathos, some love and some violence. There are tales of underhand dealings, fiddles and thievery. It tells of times when truck driving was a man's world. Hard relentless toil, long, unsocial hours, when there was no power steering and all gearboxes were constant mesh. When roping and sheeting was the norm. When truck driving was not just a job, it was a way of life.
