End of the Road

“If you want to dig beneath the official stories we’re told about ‘the supply chain crisis’ and understand the subterranean forces driving the economy of North America, you can do no better than read Gord Magill’s End of the Road. In the tradition of working-class intellectuals such as Eric Hoffer and Harry Braverman, Magill describes our economy from the vantage of the truckers who keep it running. The picture that emerges, as Magill peels away layers of bullshit with acidic humor, is not a pretty one. In particular, this book shines a light on the political and corporate corruption that both drives, and is massively exacerbated by, mass immigration. This may be the most enraging book you have ever read. It will certainly be one of the most illuminating.”—Matthew B. Crawford, author, Why We Drive: Toward a Philosophy of the Open Road End of the Road tells the story of truck drivers in a clear, honest way that is often missing from public debates. Gord Magill explains how many truckers feel pushed aside by bad rules, poor training standards, and policies that value cheap labor over safety and experience. His message aligns with what OOIDA has said for years: there is no real driver shortage. There is a shortage of respect, fair pay, and common-sense safety rules. This book helps readers understand why professional truckers matter, why strong standards protect everyone on the road, and why listening to drivers themselves is essential to fixing the system.—Lewie Pugh, trucker and OOIDA Executive Vice President
