Numerous anecdotes and pictures have been added It delves into the methods resorted to in order to survive and make ends meet for a truck driver and his family in a world where the truck driver is deemed to be the lowest of the low. The anecdotes herein possess both humour & pathos, some love and some violence mixed with tales of underhand dealings, fiddles and outright thievery. It tells of a time when truck driving was the male's domain. Hard relentless toil, long unsocial hours, no power steering, low pay and when all gearboxes were of the constant mesh variety.
