Listen, I don't know what the actual title of this book is. What I do know is what it should be called, which is: BIG RIGS!

My mom and dad don't get it... they think it's an incredibly dry rundown of all the insanely mundane tasks that a trucker must go through before hitting the road. What they don't realize is that that checklist entails:

KICKING THE TIRES! WHICH I DO EVERY TIME I GO OUTSIDE NOW!

CHECKING THE TIRE TREAD WITH A DIME! Which has made dimes my favorite choking hazard!

EATING TOAST AT TRUCKSTOPS! Mom and dad tell me "eating toast at home is fine."

CHECKING THE BRAKELINES! And counting them over and over!

Man, I love this book. And when they're honest with themselves, Mom and Dad love it because I love it.
