Description

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.

Sunday Times bestseller at no 5, as of 29/07/2025.

About the Author

At the age of twenty-five, Bobby quit his career in London to pursue a dream he'd nurtured since he was teenager - to run his own business. With a passion for building, and with a degree from Loughborough University and a few years' experience with a property developer, he felt ready to take on the world and the challenges that lay ahead. Little did he know that before he was thirty, his heart would be broken, and he would be homeless and near bankrupt. To turn his life around Bobby set out on a crazy adventure, selling all his possessions to buy a truck and drive from his hometown of Wigan all the way to Australia.
