If you think of other books of this type - please do not hesitate to contact me about them - I am not actually into the Truck Makers books as these are just for detailed history - have a few but not the favourites I like to read!!

Information On The Above Books :-

Big Rigs - now in soft back version - an up-to-date detailing of trucks worldwide with some classics listed and some unusual ones!!!

Cola-Cowboys - Real life story of truckers going to Saudi Arabia etc in the 70's with some classic tales - and guess why it is called that title?? This book is back in print as a paperback - look it up at the usual website ie Amazon

Convoy - the BOOK that created the FILM from the RECORD - a classic and contains more detail than the film!!!

Fantastic Trucks - a history of some trucks decorated in various ways throughout the world - how some trucks get driven decorated like this is beyond me!!

Truck - a story about a trucker due to retire who is chasing four young people who have killed his mate and then drove off. Radio's get used and Truckers get revenge - highly charged book and worth the read.

Juggernaut - truckers travel with nuclear waste across a desert in high temperatures.

Thousand Miles From Nowhere - An up to date (2000) true story about travelling across the USA and the Middle east with two different truckers.

Danger Heavy Goods - Another story of truckers travelling to Eastern Europe in the 70s' - gives a slightly different view from Cola Cowboys but some duplicates in the story so these guys WERE real!!

Hard Shoulder - A trucking story with a ghost TRUCK as the main storyline and gets pretty graphic - a Horror read with a good storyline.

18 Wheels of Justice - TV series in the USA based on a trucking copper - this is the book that created it and based on true facts and details.

Return Load - A truck story based in the 70's BEFORE the EU about a trucking husband and wife who's kid is kidnapped and they are forced to travel across Europe with a strange (human) cargo with a fair few people chasing after them. One of the best reads and well written - should have been made into a film.

Truckers North, Truckers South - A true story of life in the old days of trucking here in the UK from the view of a trucker himself.

CB Angel - A girl uses CB as a method of keeping in touch with truckers etc as her story unfolds.

Encyclopedia Of Trucks - Exactly what it says - and a good one at that!!

Pictorial HIstory Of Trucks - A history of trucks in the USA - some good detail in this LARGE (coffee table style) book.
