A book about part 135 cargo here in the states. Not really found in Canada.

Cheers.

Hauling Checks is a comedy about the darker side of aviation. A cast of degenerate pilots, who work for a shady night time air cargo operation, take you on a flight through the unfriendly skies. The pilots abuse every Reg in the book in their quest to make deadlines for their high value cargo. As the company falls on hard times, management resorts to questionable measures to save the failing airline.


Nothing like that happens in the night air cargo business in Canada. :roll:

Yea but in the States, they play shirtless beach volleyball and then shower together. It's a whole different ballgame down there.

I see word of my book has made it to Canada. Here's a few links:

http://www.haulingchecks.com

http://www.amazon.com/Hauling-Checks-no ... 1449563333

http://www.amazon.com/Hauling-Checks-eb ... B002WB107W

There's a link to a preview on the website, ebook formats, and there is no shirtless beach volleyball.

Hi all, a few people have contacted me, asking if Hauling Checks is available in Canada. It is not in stores in Canada, but Amazon.com offers international shipping (see link above). Here are a few reviews readers have posted:

Freight Doggin,

Hilarious book that opens your eyes to the fringes of aviation. Colorful characters and plenty of high jinx will keep you turning the pages quickly. If you have ever even thought of being a pilot this is a must read! I can only hope that the author will come out with more novels. - Amazon.com reviewer


Funniest flying book I ever read!,

Being a pilot myself I love any book dealing with flying. I can honestly say "Hauling Checks" is the funniest I've read. I couldn't put it down. The characters are so colorful and full of life and the classic "Freight Dog" mentality. I found myself, many times, laughing out loud at the many antics depicted. A truly wonderful book for a first time author. Hope to see more of this author's works in the future! I was very pleased to see this book come out for the Kindle. - Amazon.com reviewer


Oh, the memories!,

I saw the cover of this book and knew I had to read it. I used to fly checks back in the day and this book brings back some good memories! This book kept me laughing the whole time. For being the authors first book, this was fantastic. The characters in this book were classic "freight dogs". This book was a very easy read. - Amazon.com reviewer


Hilarious!!!,

I'm not a pilot but I found this book on the kindleboards and it looked interesting. The book was extreamely creative, especially for a new author. I loved the characters, The Co is my favorite. And The One Gallon Challenge was one of the funniest things I've ever read. - Amazon.com reviewer


A Former Freight Dawg Remembers!,

Alex Stone knows his freight dawgs and bottom-feeder freight companies! This book, a quick read, tells some of the odd-ball stories floating around the freight world. A fun read if you're a former (or current) freight dawg...we KNOW or have heard of people like those who populate Alex's book. Great Christmas gift for the aviator in your family or for a fun weekend read. - Amazon.com reviewer


Aviation at its Finest,

A funny, exaggerated look into a freight airline company and all of their over looked problems. Lots of hilarious segments will have your attention right from the get go and the page turning will not stop. An awesome read whether you are an airline pilot, "freight dog", or even if you've never flown in your life. This book is awesome. - Amazon.com reviewer

That's pretty much how they feel within 60 seconds of the polls closing in a federal election.
