Any book that can make me laugh is worth a minimum of three stars. Don McTavish uses up 165 paperback pages to give a humorous glimpse into various forms of trucking, from his early days as a teenage yard boy, through to obtaining his driving licence, oil patch work, logging and high-mile hauling. Any trucker can relate to the stories and any enthusiast or persons seaking a career change and considering entering the industry will gain some useful advice and insight and plenty of laughs along the way.

Although the cover depicts a Mack, much of Dan's material involves transport in the sixties and beyond, much of it spent in Kenworths, including team driving a 1960 cabover KW with twin gearboxes.

For some old-school trucking fun, nostalgia, and a mix of diverse characters and experiences, this book is a gem.

I have to say, I thought my book was funny,Truckers and Troopers but I had so many belly laughs with this one I just had to toss in my endorsement.

A great read and, I feel like I could enjoy a cup of coffee and tell stories back and forth with McTavish for hours.

Well done!
