The Big Metal Haul: A Scrap-Metal Adventure
Steel. Grit. A loyal Rottweiler. And one trucker who never expected to become a legend.
Roger Gilmore is an everyday scrap-metal truck driver from Corunna-until the day he's tasked with hauling the world's biggest piece of steel out of the I.O.L. plant in Chemical Valley. What should have been a routine transport becomes a chaotic, hilarious, slow-moving odyssey across Sarnia and into the small employer on Plank Road.
With Renegade, his sharp-eyed, judgmental black Rottweiler riding shotgun, Roger navigates hydro crews, rogue snowplows, panicked Tim Hortons drivers, and an entire convoy of spectators who can't believe a man would willingly move something this massive. Along the way, he's cheered on by his spirited sister Corie, chirped by his brother-in-law Kevin, and supported by Kimmy-the cute blonde who somehow finds his brand of truck-driver insanity adorable.
Just when Roger thinks he's survived the biggest haul of his career, life throws him into Monkton mayhem, courtesy of his son-in-law Colton and a dump truck with a personality disorder. Gravel, detours, narrow farm roads, Harley Davidson dreams, and a few well-earned Budweisers set the stage for another round of unforgettable misadventure.
Funny, heartwarming, and packed with trucker one-liners, small-town charm, and the bond between a man and his dog, this book takes you on a wild ride through friendship, family chaos, and the pride of a job no sane person would ever volunteer for.
Perfect for fans of slice-of-life adventure, blue-collar humor, and stories where the hero doesn't wear a cape-just steel-toed boots.
Hop in, buckle up, and meet Roger Gilmore-the trucker who accidentally became a legend.
