DUST JACKET INTRODUCTION
TRUCKS OF THE WORLD HIGHWAYS explores the tough but exciting scene of heavy trucks and truck operations all over the world. Under the editorship of Arthur Ingram, four enthusiasts have put together their knowledge and experience of trucks in over 3o countries, and here they describe the vehicles themselves, the routes they travel, operating restrictions, and the way of life of the truckers who drive them.
32 pages of full colour and over 100 black and white photographs illustrate the many trucks featured, from the humble everyday four-wheeler to the mighty multi-axle configurations, where they belong hard at work. Accompanying photographs in colour and black and white show a variety of trucks and the goods they carry, whether through the snows of Northern Europe or the heat of the tropical desert, along potholed treacherous highways or waiting at busy docksides.
TRUCKS OF THE WORLD HIGHWAYS journeys through Britain, North America, Australia, Western and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America to bring together an unmatched kaleidoscope of heavy trucks and trucking operations on the highways of the world. It is a unique and colourful record of a fascinating and vitally important aspect of transport today.
Arthur Ingram is well known as an author and journalist on transport subjects, and is a Member of the Chartered Institute of Transport.
