Illustrated by Ursula Koering
This is a book about the sort of trucks that you see every day, as well as the most wonderful out-of-the-way trucks that you may not yet have discovered. It tells of city trucks, with their endless and fascinating cargoes, trucks that help on the farm, and trucks that rumble along the country roads hauling anything from horse-stables to houses.
The author also tells you how the drivers arrange their routes, and how they learned to foil hijackers—and the pictures will tell you just as much as the text. You can see how a truck is loaded so that nothing gets smashed or spoilt; and how a truck Roadeo tests the skill of the men who drive the huge trailer rigs. There is lots of fun here besides useful information.
