Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

You've logged enough miles to circle the globe, argued with a GPS that thinks a 13-foot bridge sounds like a fun challenge, and personally kept the economy moving. Isn't it time for a laugh?

Written by Bailey Fitzgerald, Hilarious Trucking Facts for the Guy Who's Driven a Million Miles delivers 500 real, researched, and ridiculous truths from behind the wheel. Packed with big rig history, highway lore, and roadside absurdities, it gives you something way better to talk about on Channel 19 than the weather.

Inside this wildly entertaining collection, you'll discover:

- Big Rig Anatomy & Mechanics: The terrifying story behind how Clessie Cummins invented the "jake brake" on Cajon Pass, why air horns are tuned like musical instruments, and the real origin of "chicken lights".- CB Radio & Highway Slang: Decoding Channel 19 "Sesame Street," Smokey traps, "Kojak with a Kodak," and the 1940s police origin of "10-4".- Famous Faces & Hollywood Rigs: Did you know Elvis Presley drove a truck right up until his first hit single? Plus the crazy behind-the-scenes stories of Smokey and the Bandit, Duel, and Maximum Overdrive.- Bizarre Cargo & Roadside Encounters: True accounts of hauling $50,000 in frozen bull semen, 8 pallets of live worms, and the ghost stories drivers swear by.

Whether you read a few pages during a mandatory rest break or buy it as the ultimate gift for the long-haul driver in your life, this book is a hilarious badge of honor for anyone who lives life on the blacktop.

The Perfect Gift For: Long-haul truck drivers, owner-operators, CDL graduates, retired truckers, Father's Day, Christmas stocking stuffers, and highway lovers!
