Long-haul trucks have been described as sweatshops on wheels. The typical long-haul trucker works the equivalent of two full-time jobs, often for little more than minimum wage. But it wasn’t always this way. Trucking used to be one of the best working-class jobs in the United States. The Big Rig explains how this massive degradation in the quality of work has occurred, and how companies achieve a compliant and dedicated workforce despite it. Drawing on more than 100 in-depth interviews and years of extensive observation, including six months training and working as a long-haul trucker, Viscelli explains in detail how labor is recruited, trained, and used in the industry. He then shows how inexperienced workers are convinced to lease a truck and to work as independent contractors. He explains how deregulation and collective action by employers transformed trucking’s labor markets--once dominated by the largest and most powerful union in US history--into an important example of the costs of contemporary labor markets for workers and the general public.

Book 4 in a series of 11 interactive picture books/travel games showing 19 trucking companies. Children and bored adult passengers search for, spot, and get points to locate 18 Wheelers while driving on the interstate or stopping at truck stops. Books are in sequential order, from largest firms (Book 1 with 96,870) to smallest (Book 12 with 712). Includes close-ups of the tractor, trailer, and company names. The idea is to spot the 18 wheeler and record certain information. This is another version of the "License Plate Game" or "The Alphabet Game," only an 18 wheeler is easier to spot than a license plate.
