Book 1 in a series of 13 interactive picture books/travel games showing 19 trucking firms in each book. Contains Averitt Express, C.R. England, Celadon Trucking, Central Refrigerated, CFI (Contract Freighters, Inc.), Covenant Transport, Crete Carriers, Dart Advantage, KLLM Transport, Knight Transportation, Landstar System, PAM Transport, Prime, Schneider International, Swift Transportation, Transport Corporation of America, U.S. Express, USA Truck, and Werner Enterprises. Children and bored adult passengers use the books to search for, spot, and get points when they see an 18 wheeler. They are easily spotted on interstate highways or when passing through truck stops for gas or lunch. The books are in sequential order, from the largest firms (Book 1 has 19 firms with 96,870) to the smallest (Book 12 has 19 firms with only 172). The 18 wheelers in Book 1 will be easy to find but those in Book 12 will be almost impossible. They include a close-up photograph of the truck, trailer, and company name, along with space to record personnel information about the trip when the 18 wheeler was spotted. This is kind of like the “License Plate” game or the “Alphabet” game we all played as children, except that an 18 wheeler is much easier to spot than that missing license from Rhode Island.
