Trucking: Tractor-Trailer Driver Handbook/Workbook

Rating:
Summary: poor edit skills
Review: This book has some huge errors. The writting in this text seems as if a differant person wrote every paragraph. As an instructor, this is very frustrating. I've had many a student request the chance to string the writer up by the neck. For example, it asks to discribe a van body but has no discription of it in the book. Trust me, I've looked. It also displays insulated and petro tankers, and then proceeds to label them incorrectly. I beleive, either the writter is a little slow in the head, or the editor needs to find a new job. The first addition of this text had errors too, but the second edition only got worse. To bad for me, I haven't yet found another text book that covers this information to the degree needed in a classroom setting. Maybe next time the editor will be awake while he/she is working.
