What a great book!  I had often thought of being a long haul truck driver and even came very close to doing just that in 1961 when South Africa was in need of them.  I never knew the responsibility and stress a long haul truck driver had.  The author not only discusses the finer points of her job, but also gives suggestions to car drivers on how to react when encountering a truck on the road…and don’t we do this all the time?  This book also helps us mortal cars drivers understand not only what the driver of an 18 wheeler is doing when he or she is on the road, but WHY they are doing it.  I would have liked to know whether these drivers were paid by the load or by the hours they worked.  A minor point and I can always get this information with an internet search.
