and all that lingers between between between we ask that you put on headphones if possible use caution during your journey and always listen carefully Thank you. Oh man, I'm dragging your ass. Come on. Okay. Swats. Give you back your license. Medical card. Everything seems to be in order here. Accept your vehicle registration. How's that now? Who is Earl Watts again? Yeah, I told you. That's my father. Okay.
Okay. So, uh, why are you driving his reg? I'm just covering for him. It's temporary. Look, I didn't do anything illegal, right? We'll find out. We'll find out. I'm just waiting on confirmation from your fleet. Just sit tight, Ms. Watson. Hopefully we'll get you on your way shortly. Okay, because I really need to get this trailer delivered on time. Ma'am, sit tight. Or this can take a heck of a lot longer. Thank you. Right. Thanks, officer. What was that? What'd you say?
Thanks. Thank you, officer. Did I say something? No, no, it's not what you said. It's how you said it. I don't appreciate your attitude. My attitude? See, there it is again. Right there. Please, I'm being very respectful, but if I miss my delivery window, they dock me. That's too bad, Ms. Watts, because I got nowhere else to be today. A lot of human tracking cases on this road. Do you know that? Not to mention drugs. You never know what you might find during a routine stop.
You seem anxious. Are there any weapons aboard this vehicle? No, that's against regulation. That's not what I asked, Miss Watts. No. No, sir. Good. Because I'm out here sweating like a pig, but I'll happily unpack this entire truck on suspicion. Would you like that? What was that? What? That look! No.
There was no look. Oh, okay, step out of the vehicle. What? I didn't do anything. Step out of the vehicle or I'll rip you out. No, I'm not. No, let go of me. Get out of the vehicle, Ms. Watts. No, I'm not. Wait, no, wait, wait, there's something you have to know about. The dash cam. What dash cam? The one the fleet installed. It strips them the whole time. Really? Where is it? It's right there. 12-0-2-2 copy. God damn it.
You are approaching your 8-hour drive limit. To avoid penalties, find a safe place to park for a 30-minute break. God damn it, this... Yeah, that's not happening. Shit. Hey, Loretta. The distribution center just called. I'm almost there. I'm sorry. I got pulled over. Oh, Christ. What for? What do you think? Ray, do you know how much Hallmark farms the shipper if you're late? Enough that it takes a chunk out of my ass, too. Don't worry.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna be late. Are y'all late? Yeah, but only by a minute. It doesn't matter. System won't even let me check you in. You're going to have to reschedule for tomorrow. No, you can't do that. I'm not. Come on, man. It's just a drop and hook. You can unlock that trailer anytime you want. And if I make exceptions, I get dinged for your fleet's screw-up. Please, please. I can't come back. My dad's in the hospital.
Alright, we're gonna say, driver arrived on property at 5.59, but couldn't locate her paperwork until 6.02. What? That's not... Door 152. You got 10 minutes. 152. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, oh, uh, which door am I picking up at? Come again? I'm dropping off, but I'm also grabbing a loaded trailer for Chicago. You should call your dispatch, Hunt. That ship has sailed.
I don't know what to tell you, hon. When it looked like you were a no-show, the system automatically diverged the load to another driver. I needed that trailer, Loretta. Well, it's not like I have any control. If I bobtail this truck all the way back to Chicago after fuel costs, I'll end up owing the fleet money. I'm looking at your GPS. Where are you now? Independent? Just outside. Some busted truck stop. I hate you, sorry.
Well, you're approaching a 10-hour break anyway. Take a shower, get some rest, check back in the morning, and hopefully we'll have a back hall sorted out for you, okay? Okay, uh... It's just... I told you my family needs me home tomorrow, right? I'm supposed to be helping out with my dad and... Hey, Ray, I'm sorry. I gotta take this. Look, don't sweat it. There's a driver shortage right now. Something else will come through. And what if it doesn't? Let's deal with it in the AM, okay? Good night.
Hot day. Hot day. Look at you. Look at you! AL crash! Where you going Senator? Fuck! Hi, ma'am. Are you lost? What? Yeah, I'm Chaplain Dave. I run the Heavenly Highway Ministry. Oh, um, some other time. Well, yeah, well, you have a blessing. Thank you. Are you 118, sweetie? Yep. Where are the showers? I should straight past Barbara on your left. Okay. Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok Gracias. She's all yours. Oh my god. Oh my god. Gracias.
Your shower is now complete. Please be sure to clean the store for the next customer. You gotta be kidding me. It's just a slight delay but by 7 I should know what the deal is. Yeah, the doctor still don't know what's wrong. I'll deal with it tomorrow. Hey, hey, hey, Malika. Please stop touching your brother. Here, baby. I need you to move the camera. All I can see right now is mac and cheese. I see now isn't this nice hold on Jameel what are you eating

He could have his ice cream first, but then he promised... chicken and all of his salad ain't that right you're gonna get my five-year-old to eat salad hey hey it counts and why on earth is his mouth all blue It is blue. Very blue. Icy's and ice cream. Oh. You're right. You are right. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You're being a huge help. It's just one more night.
Well, let's hope because this one's been having nightmares and could really use his mama right now. Nightmares? Jameel? water before he ever gets to Orlando. Seems somewhat Filling his head with stories. They're not stories. Why do you keep acting like it's fake? Oh, God. Please tell me you do not let her read the news again. We were at the library. I didn't see what she was looking at. DeAndre...
She's eight. Yeah, and I shouldn't be the one to decide what they can and can't know about. Sorry, that's someone else's job. Wow. No, that's not what I meant. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

E aí I can't keep doing this to you Even if they see me as just some dude, they can con into giving them sugar cereal and Xbox. Uh, you didn't say anything about Xbox. Well, I can't hide it all the time, okay? I got needs too, you know? Not luck. You don't want to cut-
but I do think we need to talk about your exit strategy because this is not sustainable. I know. I know. This job's going to kill me. I keep seeing all these ragged morbidly obese drivers out here and I'm worried I'm slowly turning into one of them. Yeah, that's a picture. Babe, I can't remember the last time I saw a salad. My skin is broken out, my ass is getting big, my hair reeks of diesel. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. What? I just need to hear more about this big ass here.
Are you for real? For real. You know, you've been on the road for what, three weeks? My imagination ain't shit. You cannot be serious. You're crazy. Am I crazy? Hang on, just give me one second. Will you lock the door, Elise, please? It's a good call. Let me lock the door. Let me pull this all up. Shit, shit, shit.
Oh shit. Baby. Stay with me. I think someone's trying to break into my cab. What? Are you serious? Yeah, some dirtbags were fucking with me earlier. Oh shit. Okay. You got protection? Just a tire thumper. But I left it up front. I'm getting it. Right, hey, right. Don't do anything stupid. Hey. Hey. Do you need any company tonight? Uh, no. No thank you. I do girls too, you know. Nope. Nope, not interested. Bye. Shut up, bitch! What was that? Hot lizard. Just let me go home.
Look, just Google Masanto Roundup Lawsuit, Ray. Terrell, I do not care. You don't care about millions of dollars. You're supposed to be looking after Dad and not figuring out how to get rich off him. Besides, Dad drove for so many companies, who are you even going to sue? When we gonna get here? Yeah, about that. I'm still waiting for a trailer, but nothing's coming through, so I may need you to stay with Dad one more night. No.
I can't ask DeAndre to help. He's already doing so much with the kids. I got my own shit to deal with. I have a job too, you know. Are you for real? Selling supplements? I need you to stop thinking about yourself and your schemes for a moment and step the fuck up. Step up? Step up? Do you know how much I've been dealing with? Alone? I shower him. I feed him. I get him dressed. Get him to the doctor. I'm sorry. I'm... Clients?
Dad doesn't have any clients. I don't know, like, customers. The ones who keep calling his phone. Wait, shippers? That doesn't make any sense. Why aren't they calling the fleet? You asking me? Folks, this is chapter day. The Heavenly Highland Ministry is going to be starting our evening service shortly.
Stop by our trailer at Chapel if you're looking for faith, fellowship, or just some free lemonade. I wish I could do something, Ray, but that traffic stop lowered your performance rating, so you're just churning at the bottom of the queue. It's not me. It's always the system, isn't it? Is there any chance I could maybe deal directly with the shipper? You're kidding, right? The drivers are paid to drive, hun. The fleet handles the rest. Right. That's what I assumed. But thanks anyway Loretta.
What's up? Hey, you still have dad's phone? Yeah, thank God. It's in his room. You mind getting me those numbers? The truck drivers are the heroes of America's heart and you will encounter any suspicion or unusual in your traffic. Hello. Is this Mr. Caldwell? There's that. Um, my name's Arlene Watts. I'm Earl's daughter. Alright, alright. I think I spoke to your brother. Yeah. Your daddy doing any better?
No, um, they still can't diagnose us, Earl. Huh? Hopefully it's nothing too serious. Yeah. Hey, if you're still looking for a driver, I'm covering Earl's assignments while he's laid out. Huh. Well, I'm not really looking to start somebody new right now. I don't need any new training. I've been hauling every kind of freight for the last 10 years and I'm damn good at what I do. I'm sure you are.
You do know there's a driver shortage right now, right? You're not going to have any luck finding someone else to take on this load at such short notice. Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok
Your call has been forwarded to an automated voice messaging system. Hey, you never check your voicemail, so I don't even know why I bother, but... but if dad wakes up can you can you please call me i don't i don't know what he was up to but i need to ask him about these side clients because I'm trying to get home but at this point I really don't know what else I can do. The cell phones and just back up. And now these ELD computers yippin' at us over every infraction.
It can be hard to scratch out all the noise and hear the voice of the one true Lord. So I ask that you take a moment as a community to join in a silent meditation. and pray for our Lord and Savior to take a shift in the driver's seat so he may steer us in the right direction. I'm so sorry. Sorry. Hello? You ever driven a reefer? What? A refrigerated trailer. Do you know how to handle one? Oh, uh... Yeah. Yeah, of course. How quick can you get on the road? You've always really won.
