Today, drivers are treated not like people at all, but merely as \"inputs\" necessary (for now) in moving things from place to place. Truckers are spied on by corporations and governments, regulated into serfdom by politicians and bureaucrats, and considered an afterthought by managerial elites who despise those who do real work with their hands. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGord Magill, a third-generation trucker who has driven the ice roads of the Great White North, the deserts of the Australian Outback, and everywhere in between, shows how surveillance technology makes today's cab a virtual prison, demoralizing drivers and eradicating truck-stop culture. He reveals the immigration scams putting grossly unqualified drivers behind the wheel. And he gives an inside account of the trucker-led \"Freedom Convoy\" that provoked the most thorough persecution of political dissenters in Canadian history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnd of the Road\u003c\/i\u003e describes the human and cultural consequences of a short-sighted quest for efficiency that assigns good jobs a value of zero. Fresh and authentic, this book is a working-man's call to save the dignity and freedom not just of truckers, but of all blue-collar workers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gord Magill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1967613028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781967613021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Creed \u0026amp; Culture\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Gord Magill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47203222323455,"sku":"9781967613021","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1b9a9c5-1a27-4d47-a5f7-169b6b8fc34b.jpg?v=1756834711","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/end-of-the-road-gord-magill-9781967613021","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
