The book is a set of reflections and recollections of a driver's 40 plus years in the hard and unforgiving world of the haulage and transport industry. It delves into the methods resorted to, in order to survive and make ends meet for him and his family, in a world where the driver is considered the lowest of the low. There is both humour and pathos and some love and some violence. There are tales of underhand dealings, fiddles and thievery. It tells of times when truck driving was a man's world. Hard relentless toil, long, unsocial hours when there was no power steering and all gearboxes were constant mesh. When roping and sheeting was the norm. When trucking wasn't just a job. It was a way of life

Calloway-a man who likes rhyme and reason in his works-offers poems filled with rhyme and emotion, such as in "You Are." /You are my day, you are my night/ You are the face in the fire so bright. You /are my warmth on a cold winter night. You /are my pillow I hold so tight. /You are my sadness and delight; /What went wrong when we were so right? Filled with the moments and memories of his life, Heart Felt shares the poems that tell an important story of who Calloway is.
