Considering the historical role truckers have played in American folklore, it’s surprising there aren’t any more road-weary nomads scribbling captivating stories from their cabs. Murphy, a scholar of life after packing, loading and shuttling more than 3,000 homes from here to there, provides a rare, fascinating glimpse into the lives of big-rig pilots and the people they move, a community of more than 40 million Americans a year. As we climb aboard his Freightliner 18-wheeler, Murphy delivers an intimate view of a long-haul mover’s life on the road, captaining people’s overly treasured stuff across lonely highways.
