Synopsis
This book should draw the attention of millions of folks involved in the North American trucking industry. That includes drivers and their families, dispatchers, trucking company owners and managers, plus shippers and receivers. The book also is pertinent to our economy and the prices we pay for everything we buy -- because everything we buy comes at least part of the way by truck. Anything that increases the costs of trucking also increases the costs of all of the furnishings in our homes, our clothes and everything else. That is the reason for the book's subtitle: Why All of Us Pay More Some may consider use of the word abuses in the title to be a bit incendiary. Drivers certainly will not. They know its use is appropriate. This book should touch the hearts of drivers, former drivers, and their families -- who are expected to assist in its marketing by word-of-mouth. The book is designed to provide a service -- by promoting pressures from its readers for overdue actions that will improve our nation's economy and safety on our highways. The book represents a crusade -- initiated by a crusader. The author spent 13 years driving coast-to-coast for six different trucking companies. Prior to that he spent 28 years as a newspaper writer and editor. He served as managing editor at three daily newspapers -- two in Texas and one in Georgia. His editorials and columns won awards in both Utah and Texas. His trucking experiences, newspaper writing and analytical skills put him in a unique position to detail the problems in the trucking industry -- as veiwed through the eyes of truck drivers. It is a fast and easy read -- well-written, informative and interesting., If many of the inefficiencies in the trucking industry were corrected, we would pay a little less for almost everything we buy - because everything we buy comes at least part of the way by trucks. Shippers and receivers are guilty of causing much of the additional costs when they force drivers and trucks to sit idle while waiting to be loaded or unloaded. And the trucking companies make promises to drivers that they fail to keep, resulting in huge unnecessary expenses in high driver turnover, recruiting and training. The situation is further aggravated by the lack of pragmatic government regulations. This book represents a crusade by an author who spent 13 years driving coast-to-coast for six different trucking companies, after spending three decades as a newspaper writer and editor., This book should draw the attention of millions of folks involved in the North American trucking industry.
