Speaking of Truckers…..

My name is Randal Adams and I am working on an upcoming book called; Speaking of Truckers. This hardcover book will feature interviews with over 50 professional drivers from all across North America. The interviews will be kept in the words of the drivers, to give the readers the feeling of having one on one conversation with the story tellers.

I do all the interviews over the phone, when the time is convenient for the driver. A normal interview last 30-40 minutes, but could go longer if the stories are really great. 
I intend this book to be 100% positive, looking at the world of truck driving through the eyes of the men and women on the road every day doing the incredible job of keeping our country moving.

Some of the questions I will likely ask are:

How did you get into truck driving?
What is the most unusual load you’ve ever hauled?
What is the most interesting/unusual/inspiring thing you’ve ever seen while driving?
What is your least favorite place to haul?
What is your biggest pet peeve while driving?
Where are the best places to eat on the road?
 
There may be more questions, depending on how the interview goes, and which direction the stories take. The key word is stories. I’m looking for drivers that have great stories to tell; stories that are funny, heart warming, anger inducing, and thought provoking. I’ve known lots of drivers in my day, and I know they have the best stories to tell and don’t mind telling them. If this is you, you need to be in this book!
I have done interviews for author Rich Wolfe on three sport’s books; For Packer Fans Only, For Browns Fans Only, and For Steeler Fans Only. I have also published one interview type book of my own, Speaking of Rotary, and I’ve released one novel, The Flea Market as well.

I really want to bring this book to print as soon as possible. I have many truck drivers in my family, and I want to honor them and their profession with this work. Please help me by letting me interview you, or by passing this information along to someone else that might have a great story to tell.
