DeKalb This is one fellows memoir about his experience inside the trucking industry. He is, as of the publishing date (6.2015), removed from the industry and disclaims the work by stating that the events depicted therein are aligned and arranged according to the best of his memory. Names are changed where they need to be and Warburton also states that certain events are dramatized for effect.First and foremost, out of the gate - this fellow should have gotten a quality editor to read over the work prior to publishing. Grammatical and linguistic errors abound. And bluntly put, they ruin the flow of the read. A small example: in many cases Warburton is talking of the the trailer tongue (ala the trailer lip found connected to the pintle hook on his dump truck in the earlier chapters) and frequently you'd see it written as 'tongue' (proper) and the many other times it'd be 'tong' or toung'. This is just one example of many inconsistent spellings across the board. It is frustrating to have to have the story interrupted by these and other grammatical errors (like when the Maryland Trooper goes back to his car and Warburton says 'he goes back to my car'...).Secondly, much of the story reads as if it were a road map around the Baltimore / DC metro area. Warburton details his ordinal direction via every route he takes - Interstate X, Y, Z to Interstate X, Y, Z to Interstate A, B, C. I might find that more interesting if I'd been local to the region. However, because I'm not, I really don't much care about the Rte. 32 connector to I95... to myself as a reader it was merely superfluous detail; filler, if you will.Beyond this, if one can get beyond this, the story has its interesting points and importantly, its pertinent points. Warburton nails the valid point that a trucking company will work you to death. They don't care about your health, fitness or family. You're the guy sent to get a load to point Y after picking it up at point X. You're tired?... Tough. But he also very wisely advocates that you stand up for yourself against people that want to try to push you around. Which, I would guess he rightly assumes, is every single dispatcher making false promises to receivers about the carriers timeliness that you will ever meet.Warburton also espouses a few other pertinent items: 1. write down your travel info. 2. Don't mess around on the Qualcomm while you're driving. 3. Check your own tie-downs. 4. Don't trust and automatic. 5. There are folks trying to make the trucking industry obsolete - autonomous tractors where the human is there to provide triage when the (Warburton wrote 'Muridae'... which is a large Family (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family.... etc) of rodents, namely mice, rats & gerbils) 'mierda' hits the ventilator. And 6. You can probably expect to s*** yourself every now and again....While the work itself in gangly and sort of stumbles along there are parts of it that are damn funny and a handful of parts which actually let you have a glimpse of the industry as it really is - brutal on the driver, sans concern for his well-being. It is these two latter parts which make the read, albeit tedious, worth slogging through. While Warburton may not be the most articulate fellow, or computer literate guy - I give him many props for putting for the effort. My only wish would have been for more focus. The 'Truth About Trucking' strays from the path in many regards, only bits and pieces really seem to fit the darker-sided notion that the 'Truth' connotates... and again, the major failing of the work is that it is so grammatically ungainly that one can't help but feel like they're watching a fat ballerina... it's supposed to be good, revealing, insightful... but it's hardly getting there.
