The Middle East has always been one of the most challenging destinations for the UK's lorry (truck) drivers. Along the way, they endured extreme weather conditions, bureaucratic nightmares, and the physical trials of keeping themselves and their trucks operational over many thousands of miles of poorly maintained and dangerous roads. In the 1970s and 1980s, many drivers may not have even heard of the destinations they were sent to before heading out eastwards.
In this book, author Dave Bowers tells with humor and insight the amazing stories of people driving to Middle East destinations, battling against all the odds to deliver their loads. Their adventures have become legendary within the trucking world. The inspiration comes from his own experience through those routes and, in particular, on one adventurous journey homewards from Tehran in 1975, when he happened to be stranded in Iran
