My Life as a Professional Seat Cover is a memoir written to help bridge the gap between truckers and the general motoring public. It is not that truck drivers are misunderstood; it is the misconceptions that the general motoring public has about the trucking industry. Just because trucks are larger and have more brakes does not mean that they can stop quickly especially when trucks are loaded almost to the gross weight of 80,000 pounds. The issues confronting truckers today from the changes in the Hours of Service, to the point system instituted by the FMCSA, to HR763 which if passed will affect the entire motoring public. How will all these changes directly or indirectly affect consumers, the economy and the general public. Earl and Sue Marsh have three daughters, eleven grand children and one great grandson. When they are not on the road trucking they are at home in Temple, Texas.

People asked me, "What's interstate trucking like? What's it really like out there on the road?" My short answer was always the same. "You have to like being alone." In The Driver's Seat -- memoir, travelogue, portrait of an industry -- is the long answer. One month after his 45th birthday, Marc Mayfield became a long-haul truck driver, something he'd always wanted to do. Away from home for weeks at a time, he crisscrossed America in 18-wheelers. Drove into sunsets and, often, through the night. Learned firsthand that truckers compensated by the mile are shortchanged with each paycheck, that the federal Hours of Service of Drivers are as unrealistic as they are dangerous, that every day out there brought threats to his truck, his cargo, and his life. But he loved the solitude of a truck cab and traveled more than one million accident-free miles. Along the way, he all but destroyed his marriage. Then he met someone he didn't know he'd been looking for: Himself.
