Roll On
A Trucker's Life on the Road
Roll On celebrates the freedom of the open road. The reader rides shotgun in an aging yet durable Peterbilt diesel rig on an interstate odyssey with longtime independent truck driver, Ubi Sunt. Traversing the Painted Desert, the Black Hills of South Dakota, and through the nation's breadbasket into the gritty northeast, you will meet misfits, wayfarers and dreamers . In the literary tradition of escape and return, and journey to enlightenment, Ubi faces tough choices. The highway is home but the road is changing. And his only daughter offers an ultimatum: Settle down or else.
Author Fred Afflerbach, a former long-haul trucker and later award-winning journalist, debunks the truck driver stereotype via authentic characters and insight into the hierarchy, camaraderie, and culture of the misunderstood American long-haul trucker.
