Book Description
The Truckers Nightmare enters a darker side of the events that take place in the trucking world. Things can change so drastically without a moments notice. The simple task of delivering a load to a customer could very quickly turn into a series of events where one could possibly be facing his own demise. The events in these stories are about the lives, hardships, and unexpected, life changing circumstances that occur, in the lonely life of a driver out on the road. The fatigue, the stress, and the insanity that can consume the very life and can even go as far as to destroy one's family are written in these pages. The long hours, unexpected break downs, delays, and time away from home, along with the lonely nights and even longer days, test the men and women, bringing them to a point, in many cases of no return. Many of them allow the insanity that consumes them to run rampant in their lives, while others become victims of circumstances, unaware of the consequences involved. Others become victims of their environment, not being able to have a say in what happens to them. The stories in this series are each written with its own unexpected story line and twists to throw the reader off.

Sweatshops on Wheels
Author: Michael H. Belzer
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 9780195128864
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
Long hours, low wages, and unsafe workplaces characterized sweatshops a hundred years ago. These same conditions plague American trucking today. Sweatshops on Wheels: Winners and Losers in Trucking Deregulation exposes the dark side of government deregulation in America's interstate trucking industry. In the years since deregulation in 1980, median earnings have dropped 30% and most long-haul truckers earn less than half of pre-regulation wages. Work weeks average more than sixty hours. Today, America's long-haul truckers are working harder and earning less than at any time during the last four decades. Written by a former long-haul trucker who now teaches industrial relations at Wayne State University, Sweatshops on Wheels raises crucial questions about the legacy of trucking deregulation in America and casts provocative new light on the issue of government deregulation in general.
