| Description: |
He had been hauling chemicals across the country for about twenty-six years. He’s been driving in general since he was twenty-four. He was an owner operator of a truck until he began working for the chemical company. He worked until about 1990 when his diabetes got worse and he had to start taking insulin. In the trucking business it is against the law to let drivers who have to take insulin drive a tractor-trailer. Here, he recounts the life of an over the road tractor trailer driver.
