KING OF THE ROAD by Alex Debogorski

Buy the Book: KING OF THE ROAD

If you ask Alex Debogorski how he made it from Alberta farm boy to star of Ice Road Truckers, he won't tell you a long story. He'll tell you dozens of wild, hair-raising tales that make you realize he's not lucky to be on TV--he's lucky to be alive. In KING OF THE ROAD: True Tales from a Legendary Ice Road Trucker Debogorski shares tales of his adventures--and misadventures--in the north, and explains, in his own entertaining voice, how he got to where he is today--working class hero, bona-fide celebrity, and the improbable star of a smash-hit television show.

He's been hit by a train, run over by a truck the size of a house, stabbed, burned, and broken his nose eight times. Debogorski is a natural storyteller who knows how to spin tales about his colorful life growing up in the backwoods. Whether he's recounting tales about his hair-raising confrontations with bears, calculating the strength of newly formed ice, trick driving one of a string of beat-up junkers, or saving the life of another trucker, he keeps readers wanting more.

KING OF THE ROAD is an inside look at industry legend and fan favorite Debogorski, a devout Christian, father of 11 children, and the original ice road trucker. KING OF THE ROAD includes thrilling adventures and behind-the-scenes insights that you won't find on the show. It also features vignettes from close friends and family as well as 25 never-before-seen color photos.

KING OF THE ROAD gives fans of Ice Road Truckers a deep look inside the life and times of the show's biggest rising star.
