Bumper to Bumper: The Complete Guide to Tractor-Trailer Operations ASIN: 0962168750 Customer's Rating: 4 Summary: Good for non-truckers Comments: This is a useful book for someone who is not a trucker but wants to learn the basics -- someone working in a business that services or sells to truckers, for example, or who for some other reason works with them (I am a lawyer who represents them from time to time). The book explains how trucks work and how they are operated, and also how the industry works. Some of the details -- technical explanations of various types of transmission, for example -- may be more than you need but they can be easily skipped.
