David Longanecker retired at 70 after a 45-year career in higher education policy. Then he went back to school.

Truck driving school.

Longanecker (’68 Socio.) “loved big trucks” for as long as he could remember.

As a kid, he relished stories of his father’s and uncle’s trips in an 18-wheeler. Later, he loved riding in the cabs of semi-trucks when he hitchhiked to Washington State University.

Here, enjoy excerpts from his book, The Late Truck Driver: Following the Dream (Archway Publishing, 2021).
