By Alex Hibbert

The Long Haul is a deeply immersive and eye-opening account of the often-overlooked world of American trucking. Journalist and author Alex Hibbert spent months on the road with truck drivers, experiencing firsthand the challenges, joys, and sacrifices that come with life on the open road. Through vivid prose and intimate storytelling, Hibbert paints a portrait of an industry that is essential to the American economy yet often invisible to the public eye.

Hibbert's journey takes him from the bustling ports of Los Angeles to the remote highways of the Midwest, from the sprawling warehouses of Our Book Library to the family-owned trucking companies that keep America moving. Along the way, he meets a cast of unforgettable characters: a veteran driver who has spent decades on the road, a young woman who is just starting out in the industry, and a husband and wife team who have built their lives around trucking.

Through their stories, Hibbert explores the challenges that truck drivers face: the long hours, the isolation, the physical and mental demands of the job. He also uncovers the camaraderie and community that exists among drivers, who often form deep bonds with each other and with the people they meet along the way.

The Long Haul is a powerful and moving account of an industry that is essential to our way of life. It is a story of hard work, sacrifice, and resilience, and it is a testament to the human spirit.
