Life As A Long-Haul Trucker

A sign on the back of a truck advertises job openings at a truck stop Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2012, in Atlanta.

Finn Murphy discusses his book The Long Haul: A Trucker's Tales of Life on the Road, about his over 30-year career as a long-haul trucker. Murphy has driven more than a million miles around the country, and tells stories of the places and people he's encountered along the way.

Finn Murphy will appear in conversation with Tom Vanderbilt at Barnes & Noble on the Upper West Side (2289 Broadway, 82nd St.) on June 13 at 7 p.m.
