AFTER DAYS ON THE ROAD, A SEMITRUCK DRIVER LOOKS FORWARD TO DELIVERING THE LOAD. BUT THEN SUDDENLY THE DESTINATION'S IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, AND THE STREETS ARE CLOGGED WITH TRAFFIC. TURNING AROUND- SO SIMPLE IN MOST VEHICLES IS VASTLY MORE COMPLEX BEHIND THE WHEEL OF AN EIGHTY FOOT SEMI. WITH FRUSTRATION, STRESS, AND EXHAUSTION MOUNTING, THE DRIVER REALIZES HIS OR HER LONG SHIFT JUST BECAME MUCH LONGER, LESS PROFITABLE AND IS ABOUT TO GET VERY INTERESTING. CRAP! I MISSED MY TURN CHRONICLES MISHAPS LIKE THIS AND MANY MORE, AS EXPERIENCED BY ROGER W. RODDY AND OTHER SEMI DRIVERS DURING HIS TIME AS A PROFESSIONAL TRUCK DRIVER. HUMOROUS, PULSE POUNDING, AND FRIGHTENING, THIS COLLECTION OF STORIES IS PACKED WITH WISDOM FOR NEW BIG-RIG DRIVERS AND LAUGHS FOR SEASONED ONES. WHEN ALL IS RIGHT ON THE ROAD, THE THRILL OF SEEING THE COUNTRY MAKES IT ALL WORTHWHILE. BUT WHEN THINGS HEAD SOUTH, THE LIFE OF A SEMI DRIVER CAN BECOME A NIGHTMARISH AFFAIR!
