About the Book

Book 5 in a series of 13 interactive picture books/travel games showing 19 trucking companies. These 19 firms are America's Service Line, Brook Ledge Transportation, CTI (Central Trucking), ECM Transportation, Florilli Transportation, Highlight Motor Group, Hummer Trucking, John Veriha Trucking, Kennesaw Transportation, LTI Trucking, Martin Milk Service, Moore Freight Service, NTB (National Truck Brokers), Pegasus Transportation, Riverside Transportation, SGT2000, Sunrise Express, Van Wyke, and Volunteer Express. 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 172). 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.
About the Author: Retired civil engineer turned author, Russell King, has created "Have You Seen My 18 Wheeler?" a series of picture books about 18 wheelers. For Book 5, he photographed 19 trucking firms with 2,705 tractors. Do your children realize that everything we use in America is hauled at some point in an 18 wheeler? Think about it - those paper towels traveled from Green Bay, Wisconsin to the store in New Orleans. The fruits and vegetables came from a warehouse in Bakersfield, California to Omaha, Nebraska. That WMTA public transit car in Washington, DC came from Clackamas, Oregon. All on trucks ! ! Russell's remarkable idea grew from his experiences as a civil engineering inspector on interstate highway and bridge construction. He was standing on the highway, sometimes within inches, as these 18 wheel behemoths left a rush of air in their wake as they rush from point to point. And then, as he and his family drove those same interstates, he wondered how many they met on the trip from Chicago to Hilton Head Island. He graduated from Iowa State University with a BS in Aerospace Engineering and retired as a civil engineer 45 years later. You've often heard the expression -- but he can honestly say "Yes, as a matter of fact, Aerospace Engineering really is Rocket Science"
