Book Description
Meet Jack Campbell. He's a recent graduate from law school. His entire life has been dedicated to this one goal. After all it was the family business. His father and grandfather were lawyers. Everything was going along as planned. That is until his drive home from school. He casually stopped for lunch at a truck stop, as was his custom when driving home. There he started up a conversation with a man named Homer White. Homer was a truck driver. Homer told Jack about the amazing things he had seen and done while driving a truck. To a young man fresh out of college this was awe inspiring. While mesmerized by Homers stories Homer asked Jack, " How would you like to take the summer off and drive a truck and see this country?" That one question and Jack's acceptance changed Jack's life forever. Don't get to thinking that you know the story already. What happens is not what you might think. It's much stranger.

Book Description
ANGEL I know what you're whispering in the car as you pass me by. Hitchhiker. When you see me walking along the side of the road with my thumb out, you'll probably keep driving without giving me a second glance. You probably think I'm foolish. Naïve. You might assume I've made some bad decisions. You might think I'm too young to be on my own. You might be right. TRAVIS I love my job, but driving an eighteen-wheeler comes with a certain stereotype. When you hear I'm a trucker, a specific image might come to mind. Uneducated. Dirty. Perverted. Rough around the edges and a little bit dangerous. But the truth is, I'm not any of those things. In fact, I'm pretty far from it. You'd be surprised to find out I'm one of the good guys.Trucker is a standalone novel. Due to language and sexual content, this book is intended for readers 18 and older.

Book Description
A Christian's journey is not always easy. Life as a trucker on the road is not easy either. There are long, lonely hours, unpredictable storms, winding roads that never seem to end, and sometimes it's easy to forget God in the midst of it all. But God is faithful, the theme of this inspiring daily devotional. In this book, Chaplains Bunny and Blonnie Gregory share ways to beat the highway blues with stories of the miracles that they have experienced while ministering to truckers onboard Sheneeda (because she needa lot of love, just like the rest of us), their mobile chapel pulled by their Kenworth truck, and inside truck stops all across the country. Each devotion offers a Bible verse to reflect on, a short story, a real-life application, and a prayer for readers. There are devotions on faith, kindness, prayer, and more. Some are humorous and some are a little more serious, but each one offers hope and encouragement for truckers on the long road ahead and shows that in the end, we're all Trucking for Jesus. Chaplains Bunny and Blonnie Gregory have traveled the U.S. highways coast to coast with their mobile chapel since 1975, dedicating their lives to ministering to the truckers and to all others who have come aboard their church on wheels. When not on the road, the two live in Virginia.

Book Description
The Late Truck Driver isn’t about a deceased truck driver or someone who arrives late to pick up or deliver a load. It’s about becoming a truck driver later in life. David Longanecker always dreamed of driving a big rig, but his life took a different path, leading him to enjoy a career as a higher education administrator and in policy analysis. When he retired, however, he chased his dream. In this book, he shares how he made the leap, what it was like prepping for and taking the test to earn his commercial driver’s license, and how he earned real-world experience on the road. He also pays tribute to the beauty of big rigs and the pure joy that comes along with looking at them and driving them. There really is nothing like admiring the beauty of a landscape while sitting in the elevated cab of a big rig tractor. Whether you’ve wondered what it is like to drive a big rig, want to make a career change, or simply crave to know more about truck driving culture, you’ll get an accurate picture of what the life is all about with this book.
