The book title, The Highway Knows My Name, comes from a song David wrote a few years ago. Like most people in the trucking and transportation industry, he has crisscrossed this great nation. David has always been involved in moving super-loads-those huge loads that require the removal of traffic signals, powerlines, and detours of weak bridges. These loads spend their time on the backroads, and it is on the backroads that interesting things happen. On the backroads, you meet the hardworking and hospitable folks who make up this great country.
Over the years, David kept memoirs of many incidents that happened on the highway. Always seeing God's hand in every situation led David to share the lessons of these stories. They began as stories around the dinner table, became devotional writings that he shared with family and friends, and finally found their way into book form.
