The Book

Mother Trucker

I’ve Backed Up More Miles Than You’ve Driven Forward!

A book in progress built from decades around dump trucks, lowboys, heavy equipment, construction, memorable people and the stories that stay with you long after the job is over.

In development

Forty Years Gives You a Lot to Write About.

The stories, photographs, people and lessons are being organized into a book that reflects a working life around trucks and equipment — told from firsthand experience.

The Photographs Are Part of the Story.

Years of original trucking and equipment photographs will help bring the book to life and preserve some of the trucks, equipment, jobs and moments behind the stories.
