During his many years as a truck driver across Europe, Tom Abendstern made a variety of discoveries and experiences: from peculiar individuals and strange incidents to corruption and shady dealings. His stories are based on facts and revolve around amusing, curious, and sometimes dangerous situations. The author also describes common practices in the free market that rarely come to light. His keen observational skills and sense of humor make this little book an entertaining read, both for insiders and for those unfamiliar with the world of long-haul trucking.
