About the Author
|
Ken Skaggs has been a trucker for
over twenty years. Living and working
in Chicago most of those years, he was always frustrated with all of the traffic
and the crazy
drivers. In 2000, he wrote the
Chicago
Driver, a booklet about how to drive in the big city, hoping to educate people
on how to
prevent traffic jams rather than cause them. He sent a copy by email to Jesse White,
Secretary
of State of Illinois, who said he "liked the ideas and would use some of them
in his Aggressive
Driving Campaign." Ken tried to get it published, and wound up landing a gig
as a columnist
for
Ten-Four Magazine. There, he published parts
of many chapters as articles, along with many more ideas about
city driving and
trucking in
general.

| After six years, he continues to write for Ten-Four Magazine. He
has had
to do a lot
of research for many of those articles and has really honed his writing skill and
his knowledge
of city driving. His by-line at Ten-Four was always "Author, Educator and
Big City Driver",
since he has always been a teacher at heart. And his website,
BigCityDriver.com
has many of his articles from the Chicago Driver and Ten-Four
Magazine. You can
also find over
fifty of his articles at their website,
here.
His latest venture is his own magazine, Big City Driver, which concentrates on
trucking in
Chicago and suburbs. He can often be heard on the radio, talking about what causes
traffic
jams and ways to alleviate them. These Ten Keys for Safe City Driving are sure
to be a hit
with all of the publicity he gets, along with his willingness to speak at trucking
companies
and truck driving schools. We can only hope everyone reads it, so that it will
have the intended
impact and teach drivers how to Prevent Traffic Jams. Ken is available for speaking
engagements, so if you have a trucking company or driving school, please email
him
here.
