Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Curl up in your favourite commander air chair, and gear-up for the long haul with veteran trucker Don McTavish. Big Rig takes us on some eye-opening, highly comical road trips, through the eyes of a driver and his fellow truckers over a forty year period. Twenty-five short stories are divided into five parts, including, "In the Beginning," "Colorful Dudes," "Goofy Situations," "Weird Destinations," and "Crazy Cargo."
Meet "Lonesome Len," the "Pistol Packin' Partner," and "Tiny" in these fun, engaging tales which reflect unusual events and humourous predicaments experienced by the author during his impressive trucking career.
