Three Weeks in the Cab of a Truck

Summary/Abstract: Long-distance drivers are a special kind of people. There are not many who find this kind of job acceptable or even agreeable. Still, thousands of road trains are daily racing along the roads, taking goods to the destination. A cursory glance at the work of truck drivers may suggest that their life is romantic and adventurous: they load on the cargo, enter the destination address in the computer and race to the destination, harassing smaller vehicles on the way. A better insight into the life on the road and the minds of truck drivers can be obtained from the truck drivers' log books. Two cargo travels on the highways of Europe (one from Sweden to France, and the other to Spain) offer an altogether different travel experience than can be obtained on a guided tourist trip.
