The road is a long and winding place in V. W. Sheperd's fascinating debut collection, Over and Over the Road: A Truck Driver's Stories. This short-story compilation, based on Sheperd's real-life experiences while on the road as a cross-country truck driver, features the ups, downs, and everything in between as he forges a life for himself in the confines of a high-rise tractor trailer. Life is never dull when you're driving hundreds of miles a day for three months at a time. Through it all, Sheperd manages to keep his humor, his wits, and his sanity. With seventy-eight different tales of terrible weather, terrifying near-accidents, fascinating people, and philosophical observations, readers will gain a glimpse of the unpredictable- and oddly beautiful- life out on the open road.

Wit, wisdom, adventure, and revelations from sixty years on the road. They say that only truck drivers experience the true grandeur and landscape of America: the winding mountainsides at sunrise, the first frosts of winter descending on apple orchards, the call of the rising roosters. In A Trucker's Tale, Ed Miller gives an inside look at the allure of the work and the colorful characters who haul our goods on the open road. He shares what it was like to grow up in a boisterous trucking family, his experience as an equipment officer in Vietnam, the wide range of vehicles he's mounted, and the daily trials, tribulations, risks, and exploits that define life as a trucker. Ed's vibrant, no-holds-barred tales are hilarious and heartwarming, sometimes cringeworthy or unbelievable—recollections of heroic feels as well as the “fishing stories” that have stretched and shifted from CB radio to CB radio. Many are the results of what he calls, “just plain stupidity.” Others bring to light the small acts of kindness and grand gestures that these Knights of the Highway perform each day, as well as the safety risks and continual danger that these essential workers endure. Together they paint a compelling portrait of one of the most important, but least-known industries, and reveal why Ed, and so many like him, just kept on truckin’.
