Lessons from an Ice Cream Truck

by Pineapple XVI

“When the ice cream truck comes, it’s the BEST sound”
This quote is from a six-year-old girl. She is not my typical customer. Throngs of college students and Clyde the donkey are among those I’ve served. This book will probably explode your preconceptions of how you think about an ice cream truck. The times of day and places I have driven have caused many people to open their minds, open their hearts, and open their wallets. Some of them didn’t even want ice cream.
I have been an ice cream man for ten years. My love of exploration has served me well as I have sold ice cream in over a dozen different states of the midwest.

A clunky though quirky little book, self published by a fairly eccentric man. Where this book shines is giving insight into the author’s life and experiences. He didn’t spend time working as an ice-cream truck driver for the money - and it becomes apparent that his experiences barely covered its cost. He simply enjoys driving, entertaining and making people happy and driving an ice-cream trucks at times and in rural places where you would never expect one to be is how he married these interests.

Overall just fun stories of a man who made peoples lives better in little ways (while spending 10 years creating a single crossword puzzle).
