The Middle East has always been one of the most challenging
destinations for lorry drivers. In the 1970s and 80s, many drivers
may not have even heard of the destinations they were sent to
before heading out eastwards. Along the way they endured extreme
weather conditions, bureaucratic nightmares, and the physical
trials of keeping themselves and their trucks operational over many
thousands of miles of poorly maintained and dangerous roads. Their
adventures have become legendary within the trucking world.In this
book Dave Bowers tells with humour and insight the amazing stories
of people driving to Middle East destinations, battling against all
the odds to deliver their loads. The inspiration comes from his own
experience through those routes and in particular on one
adventurous journey homewards from Tehran in 1975, when he happened
to be stranded in Iran, with no cash to speak of and spending many
nights sleeping in abandoned trailers along the way. Dave travelled
homewards after he was given lifts in trucks returning to Europe.
These were driven by drivers who had many tales to tell, and this
book was motivated by the need to keep these fascinating stories
alive.Illustrated with photographs of the drivers and vehicles
taken at the time, Beyond the Bosphorus records what it was like
for ordinary HGV drivers to get involved in something so
dramatically different from their everyday working lives in the UK.
It will be of interest to lorry drivers, general vehicle
enthusiasts and also those with a historical and social interest in
the Middle East alike.
Based on VIP protection driving techniques, this will help drivers
to increase awareness, improve driving skills, be more responsible,
reduce stress levels and provide a good example to other road
users.
