Publisher's Synopsis
An occasionally terrifying, often uproarious and enlightening odyssey (too) deep into an American life that is everywhere-and nowhere-at the same time. A naïve, but proud Gen-Xer, Eric West hadn't the vaguest idea how to drive a manual transmission when he decided the time was right to leave the desk job behind to become a truck driver. Driving 18 wheels, harder than he could have anticipated, was a cakewalk compared to the fish-out-of-water challenges of life lived atop those same 18 wheels. Join Eric behind the wheel of his rig where he navigates - and survives - one of America's deadliest careers while encountering a cast of unforgettable characters and experiences. At turns heartwarming and life affirming, uproariously funny and adrenalin-pumping - TRUCK is impossible to put down; an irreverent, insightful and image-shattering page turner that will make you think twice before cutting off that big rig.
