Limpert Tech "SullyCast" on ALT 105.7 and iHeartRadio 4/18/20 - Ed Miller, Author, 'A Trucker’s Tale'

Rick talks with veteran truck driver, Ed Miller, this week. Ed is a new author and a former truck driver with stories to tell.

During this time of self-isolation, there’s one occupation that comes to mind of a person who can reveal ways for us to overcome loneliness, self-containment and social distancing while still maintaining a great sense of humor … a trucker! Sixty-year veteran truck driver Ed Miller tells just what it’s like to live on the isolated, cringeworthy, belly-laugh funny, crazy roads of America in his new memoir, A Trucker’s Tale: Wit, Wisdom, and True Stories from 60 Years on the Road.

A Trucker’s Tale: Wit, Wisdom, and True Stories from 60 Years on the Road (Apollo Publishers), Miller gives an inside look at the allure of the work and the colorful characters who haul our goods on the open road. In the book, he shares what it's like to:

•    Grow up in a trucking family;
•    Drive trucks for 60 years under extreme circumstances;    
•    Work as a petty officer in Vietnam; and
•    Morph from a trucker to a granddad turned school bus driver.

Author Ed Miller was born into a family of truckers in North Carolina and began driving tractor-trailers at age thirteen. He has more than 40 years of management and ownership experience in many aspects of the motor carrier industry, including flatbed, van, refrigerated, specialized and transportation brokerage. From 2003 to 2010, he worked in the Office of Freight Logistics at Maryland's Department of Transportation, where he served on numerous county, state and national transportation and research advisory committees. Today he is a part-time school bus driver, working as a substitute/trip driver transporting students or taking school teams to sports events. Ed grew up in western North Carolina and attended East Carolina University before serving in the US Navy Seabees. He is a father of three and a grandfather of two and lives with his wife in Rising Sun, Maryland, near Baltimore.
