Enchanting

This is an illustrative epic that I can't help but pick up again and again. Mr. Wise's sharp eye for unique and colorful scenes is easy to appreciate, even for a photography neophyte like me. Mr. Wise's photo essay reveals an adventurous soul that is willing to go the distance in sharing a dream!

This book is fantastic.

These photos are amazing. Marc Wise has immersed himself in the trucker lifestyle by taking a job as one, and the works show this intimacy he shares with the subject while maintaining an objective viewpoint. Highly recommended for people who appreciate the works of photographers like Stephen Shore and William Eggleston.

Captures the mood

If you are looking for a trucking book with lots of pictures of trucks, this is not for you, however if you want a photographic pictorial book which captures the mood of truckstops and the variety of patrons who frequent them, this is a worthwhile addition to your library.

A great pictorial work

This book truley captures the life of an average truck driver. It shows the experiences of the road and best of all the truck stops. The truck stops are wonderfully photographed.
