What a great job, right? Cruising the open road, traveling all over North America, and getting paid for it. There have been times when I've thought this would be the perfect job for me. A few stints driving the biggest truck Uhaul rents, which are half the size of a typical 18-wheeler, and a few horror stories from a former brother-in-law who is a trucker, hinted that this profession might not be as easy as it looks. Carolyn Steele completed the task of convincing me this might not be the job for me.This humorous account of Steele's time as a trucker, from truck driving school and on into her time as a long-haul trucker, is an adventure I enjoyed experiencing the easy way, vicariously. It gave me a new level of respect for those who practice this profession, and you can be sure I'll be giving those 18-wheelers a wide berth when I'm on the road. Not only a fun read but, for anyone considering a career as a trucker, a must read.**Originally written for "Books and Pals" book blog. May have received a free review copy. **
