I knew nothing about truck driving prior to read this book. I had to say I now have vastly more respect for every truck driver out there on the roads, male or female. I had no idea how incredibly difficult the actual driving could be and no concept of the politics and paperwork that these poor drivers suffer through. I am somewhat amazed that anything gets shipped anywhere given what you have to go through.  And I don't even want to think about what it's like to drive an 18-wheeler through a Canadian winter, I was shivering in my chair while reading.Carolyn Steele does a terrific job of putting the reader behind the wheel as we learn along with her the ins and outs of the world of long haul trucking and includes enough humor (with a British slant of course) that she got me laughing many times throughout the book. I was actually sorry to have it end. Her sense of humor and writing style made for a delightful read and I look forward to finding more of her books.
