Putting together a book

Anyone who is interested, we are putting together a book on long haul truckers. We’d like to bring the story of the long haul trucker to middle America so that folks might understand the ups and downs, get a peek into why you all do what you do and how you do it. Life on the road.

If you're interested in participating in this project, it would involve interviews via e-mail and the completion of a short questionnaire -- a series of 20 questions--and 2 professional photos highlighting driver and his/her home on wheels.

Think of it like a high art coffee table book.

Let me know!

 

Hi vaquero and truckerdave
Thanks so much for responding. I'm hearing that it's really tough out there right now...even more important to share with America what life is really like on the road - the ups and downs. We're highlighting the driver (photo), picture of rig, and photos of the sleeper to show that it really is home away from home. Non-drivers don't have any insight into that life, where you sleep, what's in the truck, how much you can do with that space, etc. Then there's a short interview where we will ask you to fill in the blanks. It's a good way to share "real" stories and maybe even dispel some of the myths and preconceptions people have about drivers.
