5.0 out of 5 stars A great pictorial work, August 30, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Truck Stop (Author and Artist Series) (Paperback)

This book truley captures the life of an average
truck driver. It shows the experiences of the road and best of all the truck stops. The truck stops are wonderfully photographed.

This review is from: Truck Stop (Author and Artist Series) (Paperback)

Having been a truck driver for six years, I can tell you with some authority that this an absolute spot-on pictorial review of the life and job. It's a bit dated for now (2009), but that's to be expected since the industry changes so quickly.

Unfortunately, my only complaint is that I cannot use this a teaching tool for my niece and stepdaughter. They expressed a great deal of curiosity about the job and I purchased this to show them what it's like on the road.

The author includes a shot of a driver area that has a full frontal nude poster of a woman on the wall. I wish a disclaimer would have been offered in the product description. I'm disappointed that I can't use this book like I wanted to. But I would still recommend it for anyone who wants to get a quick picture of the world of trucking, with all its warts and embarrassing characteristics.

This is an illustrative epic that I can't help but pick up again and again. Mr. Wise's sharp eye for unique and colorful scenes is easy to appreciate, even for a photography neophyte like me. Mr. Wise's photo essay reveals an adventurous soul that is willing to go the distance in sharing a dream!
