The Trucker’s Carnivore Cookbook
Paperback · sold on Amazon
100 carnivore recipes, every one written for a compact air fryer, in a paperback you can keep on the bunk. This is the shorter print book — not the 300-recipe Carnivore in the Truck PDF, which adds 150 skillet recipes.
Who this book is for
Drivers who want a paperback of simple air-fryer meals for the sleeper — meat, eggs, salt and fat, no complicated plan, nothing that needs a kitchen.
What you’ll learn
- 100 air-fryer recipes — no skillet section in this edition
- Meals built from meat, eggs, salt and animal fat
- A print book, sold and shipped by Amazon — the 300-recipe PDF is a separate download
DOT Survival Guide
Paperback · sold on Amazon
Inspections, audits, and shutdowns — the playbook for staying legal when the DOT comes knocking. Written from 17 years of clean inspections, not from a lawyer’s desk.
Who this book is for
Company drivers and owner-operators who want to stop fearing the scale house — and anyone who’s ever rolled past an inspection site holding their breath.
What you’ll learn
- How roadside inspections actually go down — and how to pass them
- What triggers audits and shutdowns, and how to stay off the radar
- The habits behind 17 years with zero violations
Discipline Over Everything
Paperback · sold on Amazon
The truths nobody tells you. Road-tested discipline for drivers who want more out of this life than a paycheck — money, health, and a future you actually control.
Who this book is for
Drivers grinding hard but going nowhere — anyone who knows the problem isn’t effort, it’s direction, and wants a straight-talk reset from someone who’s lived it.
What you’ll learn
- The discipline habits that compound on the road
- How to stop leaving money, health, and time on the table
- Building a life you don’t need a break from — from the driver’s seat
