Danger Heavy Goods Driving The Toughest Most Dangerous Roads

Transport & Engineering Biography & Memoir Travel & Exploration

Danger Heavy Goods Driving The Toughest Most Dangerous Roads by Robert Hutchinson is a gripping 1987 first-edition hardcover that drops readers into the cab of an Australian road-train driver. Hutchinson’s vivid, first-hand stories map the remote Outback routes where every bend can flip a rig and every radio crackle signals a new gamble.

Illustrated plates amplify the dust-jacketed narrative, showing the mammoth trucks and lonely highways that true-story and transportation collectors love. Young adults and seasoned haulage fans alike will feel the diesel-scented tension as the author recounts hauling oversized freight across flooded causeways and salt-crusted desert tracks.

This vintage copy remains very good: pages are crisp, binding tight, and the colourful jacket shows only light edge wear. Shelved smoke-free, it’s ready to join any shelf celebrating Australian transport history or the brave culture of long-haul trucking.
