Teddy's father was a Sergeant in the Transport Division of the U.S. Army. He drove a huge canvas-covered truck and delivered whatever America's military needed. Sometimes it was airplane or helicopter parts; sometimes it was food and uniforms and tents; and sometimes it was medical supplies or building equipment. After the Army, the Sergeant became a long-haul truck driver, who delivered everything.When Teddy was still in Kindergarten, he told his mother, Mama, he wanted to drive a truck when he grew up.

She was a teacher and taught the Army's school children wherever the Sergeant was assigned, which was all over the country and one or two foreign countries. Every night, after dinner, he sat at the family dining room table with his books and his computer and his determination to become the best trucker ever.The story's climax follows Teddy's birthday adventure, and involves a big storm, a helpful trucker and a big rescue.

Download or read book A Trucker s Tale written by Ed Miller and published by Apollo Publishers. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wit, wisdom, adventure, and revelations from sixty years on the road. They say that only truck drivers experience the true grandeur and landscape of America: the winding mountainsides at sunrise, the first frosts of winter descending on apple orchards, the call of the rising roosters. In A Trucker's Tale, Ed Miller gives an inside look at the allure of the work and the colorful characters who haul our goods on the open road. He shares what it was like to grow up in a boisterous trucking family, his experience as an equipment officer in Vietnam, the wide range of vehicles he's mounted, and the daily trials, tribulations, risks, and exploits that define life as a trucker. Ed's vibrant, no-holds-barred tales are hilarious and heartwarming, sometimes cringeworthy or unbelievable—recollections of heroic feels as well as the “fishing stories” that have stretched and shifted from CB radio to CB radio. Many are the results of what he calls, “just plain stupidity.” Others bring to light the small acts of kindness and grand gestures that these Knights of the Highway perform each day, as well as the safety risks and continual danger that these essential workers endure. Together they paint a compelling portrait of one of the most important, but least-known industries, and reveal why Ed, and so many like him, just kept on truckin’.
