Running Legal Blues - A Truckers True Life Quest (Paperback)

Running Legal Blues by Jeff Head The book made me laugh, cry and most importantly, think and very educational about the trucking industry. All words and descriptions used to describe Running Legal Blues by those that have taken the time to read and enjoy the book. Others have noted "Not a polished piece of work" and to them I say "Of course not." It was never intended for RLB to meet the very high standards that some readers demand. Instead, the book was written by a truck driver, in his own words, and straight from the heart. As you spend some time with me as I travel through the years starting out as a renegade trucker doing what it takes to put the load through to its destination, then in later years demanding to run safe and legal; you will find yourself learning and understanding the trucking industry as you have never understood it before. You will follow me through the changes in the industry and the drivers themselves as I become a safe and legal driver as more and more drivers are in today's world . Most importantly, you will see the obstacles that drivers face when they decide to do it the safe way, the legal way. Understand the roles that shippers and receivers, dispatchers and even the government play in the day to day life of an over the road truck driver. Most importantly, you will learn just what happens to a driver that decides to buck the system and demand to put safety and running legal above all those that do not have time for him to do so. Of all the things I would hope "Running Legal Blues" to do, I would hope that it will bring a better understanding between truckers and the traveling public that we share the road with. Highway safety is something that all must believe in if it is to save lives. In today's world there are thousands of truckers that know and understand this. If given a chance, if protected from those that would see these truckers starved out of the industry, their numbers will continue to grow. So hop in the jump seat and let us take a trip or two around the country. Let us see if you have what it takes to handle one of the big rigs out on the open road and all of the politics that come with the job.
