Event Details

Murphy is author of THE LONG HAUL -A Trucker's Tales of Life on the Road. Murphy is not your typical trucker. As a moving truck driver, often known as “bedbuggers” hauling “roach coaches,” he describes the strict hierarchy among truckers and how his type are shunned as outsiders. He also touts his middle-class background in suburban Connecticut and his nearly completed education at Colby College, a prestigious liberal arts school in Maine, to distinguish himself from the “cowboy truckers” who think of themselves as living out some modern fantasy of the Wild West. An entertaining and insightful snapshot of the hauling life. Murphy will sign books after his presentation. Books will be sold by Old Firehouse Books.
