So I've been wanting to read Old School's book whenever he gets it done. That said, I haven't read Brett's book, and I'm wondering how it has aged? Is it worth reading?

Also, what other truck driving books do people recommend?

Thanks.

Is it worth reading?

I highly recommend reading Old School’s blog, Life As A Road Warrior … beginning with his first post in 2013. It teaches you how to be successful in this lifestyle as well as anything you’ll find to read.

I have the hard copy, myself. It's still VERY relatable. I prefer a 'book in hand' than online reading, myself. There are still a few out there; last I found mine was on Etsy, I believe.

Anne,

Nice find. Apparently, I've asked a question that has already been asked and answered. I suppose a lot of what goes on in this forum is redundant.

It's all good, Chris !

Sometimes (often!) it's great to see a subject revisited, with 'fresh eyes.'

Also, Dave Wickenhauser, who did some articles/blogs for Brett on here, has a couple 'fiction' books published; available on Amazon. The kindle version is on AzPrime, as well.

✔ Crimson Highway
✔ Road Test
✔ TBA!

Good reads; I bought the paperbacks.

Its been a few years since I read it. I remember being very grateful that it was offered to us for free. I was very on the fence about my career change, and it helped me rest assured that I was making the correct decision. Over the years, Ive only met one other driver who has read the book. I really think that is disappointing, but it speaks more to the driving population, not the book itself.
