Great Work, very accurate for Truck Drivers, not for children
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...

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!

These photos are amazing. Marc Wise has immersed himself in the trucker lifestyle by taking a job as one, and the works show this intimacy he shares with the subject while maintaining an objective viewpoint. Highly recommended for people who appreciate the works of photographers like Stephen Shore and William Eggleston.

If you are looking for a trucking book with lots of pictures of trucks, this is not for you, however if you want a photographic pictorial book which captures the mood of truckstops and the variety of patrons who frequent them, this is a worthwhile addition to your library.
