Resumen del Editor
More than 30 years ago, Finn Murphy dropped out of college to become a trucker. Since then he's covered hundreds of thousands of miles packing, loading, and hauling people's belongings all over America. Murphy whisks listeners down the I-95 Powerlane, across the Florida Everglades, in and out of the truck stops of the Midwest, and through the steep grades of the Rocky Mountains. He tells funny, poignant, and haunting stories of the people he moves: a hoarder in New Hampshire, a Virginia homeowner raging when Murphy's truck accidentally runs down a stand of trees, a widow rushing her archaeologist husband's remains and relics to a Navajo burial ceremony in New Mexico. Brimming with personality and great characters, The Long Haul explores the appeal of manual labor and shows what happens behind the scenes when we call the movers.

Historia
People who have read my books, particularly “The War of Art” and its cousins, have a vague idea of the odyssey of a particular solitary guy, wracked with guilt and riven by self-doubt, as he struggles toward his destiny as a writer. But they have only the scantiest conception of the particulars of that journey. These particulars I’m hoping may be of use to others as they wrestle with their own version of that same odyssey. So let me try to strip it down. Let me tell the parts I normally leave out.

In 1979, Wisconsin native Tim McBride hopped into his Mustang and headed south. He was 21, and his best friend had offered him a job working as a crab fisherman in Chokoloskee Island, a town of fewer than 500 people on Florida's Gulf Coast. Easy of disposition and eager to experience life at its richest, McBride jumped in with both feet. But this wasn't a typical fishing outfit.

They say that only truck drivers experience the true grandeur and landscape of America. In A Trucker's Tale, Ed Miller gives an inside look at the allure of the work and the colorful characters who haul our goods on the open road. He shares what it was like to grow up in a trucking family, his experience as an equipment officer in Vietnam, and the trials and tribulations of life as a trucker. His tales are often funny, sometimes sad, cringeworthy, or unbelievable. Many are the results of what he calls "just plain stupidity."

After decades as a long-haul trucker, Finn Murphy left the road and settled in Boulder County, Colorado. Before long he noticed that many of his neighbors were captivated by the prospect of vast riches in “the Hemp Space.” When hemp was legalized, after eighty years in federal exile, Colorado became the center of a hemp growing and processing boom. Figuring he’d harvest some of that easy money, Murphy bought a thirty-six-acre farm. What could go wrong? Well, pretty much everything…

In the spring of 1983, massive flooding along the length of the Colorado River confronted a team of engineers at the Glen Canyon Dam with an unprecedented emergency that may have resulted in the most catastrophic dam failure in history. In the midst of this crisis, the decision to launch a small wooden dory named “The Emerald Mile” at the head of the Grand Canyon, just fifteen miles downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam, seemed not just odd, but downright suicidal.

The book begins with two Indians plummeting from the sky after the explosion of their airliner, and proceeds through a series of metamorphoses, dreams and revelations.

Historia
From the beet fields of North Dakota to the wilderness campgrounds of California to an Amazon warehouse in Texas, people who once might have kicked back to enjoy their sunset years are hard at work. Underwater on mortgages or finding that Social Security comes up short, they're hitting the road in astonishing numbers, forming a new community of nomads: RV and van-dwelling migrant laborers, or "workampers".

Historia
After decades as a long-haul trucker, Finn Murphy left the road and settled in Boulder County, Colorado. Before long he noticed that many of his neighbors were captivated by the prospect of vast riches in “the Hemp Space.” When hemp was legalized, after eighty years in federal exile, Colorado became the center of a hemp growing and processing boom. Figuring he’d harvest some of that easy money, Murphy bought a thirty-six-acre farm. What could go wrong? Well, pretty much everything…

Historia
In the spring of 1983, massive flooding along the length of the Colorado River confronted a team of engineers at the Glen Canyon Dam with an unprecedented emergency that may have resulted in the most catastrophic dam failure in history. In the midst of this crisis, the decision to launch a small wooden dory named “The Emerald Mile” at the head of the Grand Canyon, just fifteen miles downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam, seemed not just odd, but downright suicidal.

Historia
Inextricably linked with the fatwa called against its author in the wake of the novel’s publication, The Satanic Verses is, beyond that, a rich showcase for Salman Rushdie’s comic sensibilities, cultural observations, and unparalleled mastery of language. The book begins with two Indians plummeting from the sky after the explosion of their airliner, and proceeds through a series of metamorphoses, dreams and revelations.

A Nice Slice of Life Story
I sometimes like to get a book I normally would not choose. It is a good way to find new authors or just a something different. The Long Haul was just such a book. My Dad and my older Brother made a living as truck drivers so this book caught my attention.
Within the trucking industry, there are specialists. For example, my Dad hauled lumber and my Brother hauled heavy equipment. Finn Murphy's specialty is moving. You know, the guys who load everything in your house into a big truck trailer and move it to your new house.
In his book, Finn tells us that movers, called Bed Buggers by other truckers, are the lowest in the trucking industry pecking order, then tells us that it is one of the best paying jobs in trucking. But the book isn't a how-to or recruiting tool. It is an insight to truckers and the trucking lifestyle through well-written and compelling anecdotes from Murphy's many years and miles on the road.
If like me, you sometimes like to read something different, I recommend The Lone Haul.

The audible ratings were correct!
I have never read a blurb for a book and seem so disinterested however contrasted against the stellar reviews i felt compelled to give it a try.
WHAT A SURPRISE GEM! This is the perfect book to relax and escape with.
I've recommended to many friends and when i try to explain what it's about i just say "ok.... just trust me.. and all the other audible reviewers"

Just as described
No surprises
Mostly what you’d expect
Confirms that there are
1) good people out there; both as customers and movers
2) bad people out there; again both as customers and movers
3) with mainly the latter in the middle, looking for more $
Interesting insight about the market and how it works

Great read! I recommend it!
After this read I will never look at a moving truck without smiling in appreciation for the job they do! this book takes you along on the journeys. It's very well written. I hated to see it end.

Very true stuff! Good creative humor!
This is a good one to listen to. Had a lot of good stories, and really told it like it was. He’s extremely honest in this! Obviously his stories are creative but the overall life of a trucker is on point!

unexpectedly entertaining and informative!
heard an interview with the author on NPR that peaked my interest, and this story did not disappoint! It was truly fun to listen to. I find myself thinking differently about trucks and truckers since hearing Finn's story.
You will find yourself laughing out loud, cheering and feeling genuinely sad at times. By the time the book ended, I felt like Finn had become a friend.

Real insight
What a lot of fun to read. Learning the ins and outs of trucking and moving furniture may not sound that interesting to everyone but Finn Murphy twines a fun and very lively yarn about his life behind the wheel. This is a great inbetween listen when you're not quite ready for another deep book. Well worth picking up.

Loved it!
Loved this book because as a truck driver I can relate! Also interesting to hear the side of drivers moving people to relocate.

Enjoyable listen
I really enjoyed going through the years of a “bed bugger”. I heard Finn interviewed on To the Best of Our Knowledge. He mentioned his book and I thought I would give it a shot. Well worth the listen.
