Riding Shotgun In An 18-Wheeler
Author and adventurer Toni Dietkus’s Riding Shotgun In An 18-Wheeler is an extraordinary slice of life tale about being a long-haul trucker.
Dietkus always had wanderlust; as a child, she was accustomed to being on the move while her father chased work in the American West during the late 40s and early 50s.
Her book shines a spotlight on that uncommon group of people who are always on the move hauling and delivering goods across the USA, and gives the reader an up-close view of their life on the open road.
Toni and her husband, Nick Lane, found themselves in hard times, financially, and became long-haul truckers. Before their experience, Toni felt annoyance—as most of us do at times—with these big rigs which dominate our highways. We careen around them with little thought about the skill it takes to drive the semi tractor trailers safely and get the wares to their destinations—
Dietkus takes the reader inside the cab with numerous illustrations. She captured the sights, sounds, and smells of driving, at all hours of the day and night, in personal letters. Her narration of experiences—
If you have always wondered what life on the open road would be like, or if you dream about taking an adventure, Riding Shotgun In An 18-Wheeler may just be the impetus to start you off on your own journey.
As Dietkus puts it, “An adventure, even a small one, is a chance to free up your heart’s hidden desires and to see the world or its needs in a different light. Side-step inertia in your life by allowing a small space for un-programmed joy, and see what fills that space.”
