Welcome to my website! I’m James E. Smith, a seasoned truck driver with over 4.5 million miles of experience behind the wheel. Originally from Upstate New York, I moved to North Carolina in 2001, where I’ve continued my journey in the trucking industry. With a passion for road safety and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by truck drivers, I’ve dedicated my career to not only mastering the art of driving big rigs but also sharing my knowledge to make our roads safer for everyone.

Over the years, I’ve witnessed countless accidents and close calls, many of which could have been avoided with a bit more awareness and understanding. This inspired me to write my book, “Through the Eyes of the Accused,” where I offer insights from a truck driver’s perspective, providing invaluable tips and advice for drivers of all vehicles. My aim is to educate and inform the public about the realities of sharing the road with large trucks and the importance of safety and respect on the highway.

In addition to my writing, I’ve created this website as an informative platform where you can find practical safety tips, learn about the complexities of driving big rigs, and even get a special signed copy of my book. Whether you’re a fellow trucker, a road safety advocate, or just curious about the trucking life, I invite you to explore the site, read my stories, and take advantage of the resources available.

Thank you for visiting, and safe travels on your journey!
