Truck It!

The Drive Around the World That Saved My Life
An inspirational and uplifting account of Bobby Bolton’s epic trucking adventure across the globe, journeying through continents and finding love along the way.

The instant Sunday Times bestseller.

What do you do when you’ve lost everything? You bet it all on a mad idea.

After a broken heart and a bankrupt business left him at rock bottom, Bobby Bolton made a drunken promise in a Wigan pub: he was going to drive to Australia in a converted truck with his dog, Red.

He thought it would be a story of one man and his dog. How wrong he was.

Just weeks into his journey, a chance encounter with a beautiful hiker named Marie changed everything. After only two dates, she bravely joined him on the adventure of a lifetime, and their epic love story began.

But their new life on the road was forged in the face of constant danger:

• Bribing corrupt Russian police
• Surviving a mountain track collapse in Italy
• Being interrogated at a Taliban checkpoint
• Rescuing his new girlfriend from a 200-metre fall down a cliff face

Action-packed, hilarious, and full of Northern charm, Truck It! is the inspirational true story of what happens when you leave it all behind and find love, adventure, and a reason to live again.
