About this title

Synopsis

Everyone is fascinated by the immense, often-colorful big trucks that haul incredible loads cross-country and across work sites. This book presents a lively and colorful look at a wide variety of "big rigs" as they haul everything from livestock to liquids.

The trucks are seen in action -- hauling, dumping, loading, and unloading -- with a wide variety of cargoes. There are logging trucks on forest roads, livestock trucks leaving farms, freighters and refrigerated trucks -- "reefers" -- making time on the interstate, and trucks full of rocks kicking up dust in gravel pits. The book covers the tractors that pull big trailers, a variety of trailers, what it's like behind the wheel of a big rig, and a taste of life on the road.
