The Story Behind the Cartoon
Log books are documents bounded into a book that every truck driver going over a certain distance has to fill out. In fact in most of the areas of transportation from trucks to buses and airplanes this is a mandatory requirement. For most companies in the trucking industry this is where most of the fines come from as some drivers fill them out incorrectly, cheat, or down right lie. In June across North America inspection stations will inspect trucks and be asking for this document. This cartoon has the inspector asking for the log book and some drivers feel as though they have the right to have an attitude about being asked. This will never go well for the driver, but certainly makes for a good cartoon scenario.This illustration is some of my older work that was done traditionally with a very tight inking style.
Enjoy the cartoon! Been there done that!
