Publisher's Synopsis
A true full-life adventure featuring lots of weird and wonderful people and places. Written as experienced and remembered by the author. This unique story focuses on four years of on-the-road travel as a cross-country truck driver including all the unusual, absurd, crazy, frightening, and fantastic situations the author encountered, never knowing what was over the next hill or just around the next corner. It also includes all the craziness of his childhood and teen years that prepared him for this adventure including 16,000 miles of hitchhiking across America and several months experiencing Europe while living out of a backpack. This nontraditional narrative highlights the benefits and challenges of an insatiable curiosity about learning how the world works and often doesn't work to our satisfaction. This combined with the tendency to welcome a full range of opportunities and the desire to make the best of them has resulted in an unquestioningly rewarding, if not phenomenal career path and set of life experiences that will capture your attention, make you laugh, and prompt you to wonder about your life.
