![]() The Long Haul is also a behind-the-scenes look at the moving industry, revealing what really happens when we call in “the movers.” Some 40 million Americans move each year, and very few have any idea what they’re getting into or the kind of person to whom they are relinquishing their worldly goods. 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. A long-haul mover’s rollicking account of life out on the Big Slab. ![]()
