Profile For Jim S.

Hi, I'm a freelance writer (done stuff for Freightliner, Western Star, Detroit, RoadPro) working on a Halloween article about trucker ghost stories -- anything to do with haunted trucks, haunted roads, haunted truck stops etc.. Think Large Marge from Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Anyone got any ghost stories they want to share?

Thanks,

I'm a writer working on an article about why truckers became professional drivers. I'm interested in hearing the story of anyone who feels like sharing how they came to drive for a living.

Thought I'd share this link to a profile I wrote about Tony Justice, a driver/country musician out of Tennessee.

Thanks, Tracy. Technology absolutely has made it easier to keep in touch. I was talking this morning to a retired driver who remembers sending postcards home from the road. Can you imagine? I'd like to use some of what you said in the article, but I'd need your full name. Can you help me out?

Thanks,

Hi. I'm not a trucker. I'm a writer who writes stories about trucking. I've written for Freightliner, Western Star, Detroit, RoadPro, Wilson, RoadKing etc. I tend to do articles about truckers' lives, life-work balance, families etc. Right now, I'm working on an article about how truckers on the road use technology to participate in family events (birthdays, recitals, football games etc.). Does the stay-at-home spouse post pics to Facebook? Tweet the game? Does the driver Skype into the birthday party? Facetime?

Would like to hear from any drivers who can speak to this. Also, open to any story ideas or suggestions for articles you'd like to read about.

Thanks and I hope to hear from you.
