Author: Finn Murphy
This was one of my first audiobooks, and boy, was I in for a treat. The narrator is the author himself and there’s something to be said about listening to a memoir in the authors own voice. Finn Murphy dropped out of the University of Colorado in the late 1970s and stumbled into a career as a long-haul trucker.
He shares many anecdotes about the trucking industry starting with the seventies and all the way to the more recent complexities of the rules and regulations that govern truckers today. His stories bring out the life of truckers, how important the rest stops are and how they combat loneliness on the road. There are many humorous adventures that are sprinkled throughout the book and some of them are quite thought-provoking especially when he talks about the dynamics between the trucker, the labor he employs and the rich customers that he serves.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audio book and have recommended it to numerous people.
