The following set of pictures is among the biggest reasons why I didn't do much blogging in June. Over the last several decades, I've been involved in many aspects of the trucking industry from trucking, to ethnographical issues relating to trucking culture, to truckers health. My passion has always been large car living. That passion has incoporated many versions of 18 gears and a dozen poses-whether its been spent running Arizona produce up to Edmonton or Airfreight from Seattle into Montana, I've covered a lot of miles and fell in love with about 10,000 big road sunsets.
That will never change. I still live and breathe and dream trucking.
Long before my accident, truckers health felt like an issue that needed serious attention. Post accident, the dynamics involved in putting in the long haul are out of the question-My vision just isn't stable enough to last for 24-hour-a-day periods that are sometime a basic part of the job dynamic.
So, to satiate that addiction to perpetual motion, I've been involved in several research efforts led by some of the countries top academics, all of them focusing on mobile population health issues. Some of those efforts are already published, but even more are in the pipeline. Finally we have serious momentum going forward for the trucker's health project and researchers from all across America are working on various projects that will someday make life easier, safer and healthier for the nation's long haulers.
Below are shots taken while a documentary was produced in June. That's Mikey there with the Petercar. As soon as I know when it will air, you'll be the first to know. Until then remember this:
There ain't no feelin' like Petercar mobilin'.
