Have you ever wondered how the vehicles on a car carrier are attached to the truck? Maybe you've wondered how the cars, vans, or other vehicles on the top deck got up there! And have you ever wanted to know what it's like to drive a huge car carrier that's transporting new cars from a factory to their excited new owners? In this book, meet the men and women who drive car carriers and learn all about this important and highly skilled job. Discover all about these trucks and how they work. Find out what it's like to spend days or even weeks driving thousands of miles while working, living, and sleeping in your truck. And spend time with a car carrier driver as they load new cars, drive them across the country, and deliver them to their new homes. This book is an engaging and high-interest introduction to nonfiction reading. It's also perfect for supporting social studies topics such as "The Jobs People Do" and "People in Our Communities Who Help Us."
