He made dozens of trips over the Coquihalla, aka "The Highway to Hell", plowed snow up to the bumper over Wyomings South Pass carrying newsprint. Trucker Tales is 50 easy-to-read short stories with lots of pictures about what truckers go through every day of their career. Ted has earned a fortune and spent several.
