![]() ![]() As he crisscrosses the country, Murphy recounts with wit, candor, and charm the America he has seen change over the decades, from the hollowing-out of small towns to changing tastes in culture and home furnishings. Going far beyond the myth of the American road trip, he whisks readers down the I-95 Powerlane, across the Florida Everglades, in and out of the truck stops of the Midwest, and through the steep grades of the Rocky Mountains. In The Long Haul, Murphy offers a trucker's-eye view of America on the move. Known by his trucker handle as U-Turn, he spends his days (and many of his nights) in a 53-foot eighteen-wheeler he calls Cassidy. Since then he's covered more than a million miles packing, loading, and hauling people's belongings all over America. More than thirty years ago, Finn Murphy dropped out of college to become a long-haul trucker. ![]()
