Publisher's Summary

Here's an eye-opening look at the world of truck driving from the driver's seat. This audiobook allows you to experience the reality of what it's like to drive one of those smoke-belching monstrous 18-wheelers while sitting safely in your recliner.

Mary Ellen doesn't realize in her quest for financial stability that she's stepping out of the box and squarely into the all-male bastion of trucking. Still, our female protagonist finds the strength to come out of every situation ready to face the next challenge. Her experiences include navigating endless unfamiliar cities, prior to GPS and cell phones, to backing her tractor-trailer into places she's sure a car wouldn't fit. But she overcomes it all.

The author takes you behind the wheel with her as you are swept from one adventure to the next, such as driving through a raging Wyoming blizzard to making deliveries at the infamous Hunts Point Market in New York City, where, for the first time, she considers carrying a gun. She shows the listener how this job is much more than just driving; it's a lifestyle. This is a story you'll find hard to pause.
