Shipping Wars: Roy Risks Missing Son’s Graduation Driving Shipment Through HEAVY Floods | A&E

Come on, let's go for a walk. Yes, I have a travel companion. Most of the time I call her Muffy. She goes with me everywhere. No matter where I go, she goes. Charged, ready to go. I'm headed to pick up a 1930 Model A. There will be no problems with this load. We'll just put it in the truck and go. , good? Hello Roy. Yes, sir, I am. How are you? Model A. That's all. Wow. I've owned a few classic cars in my time. The Model A is a very collectible car. Unfortunately it doesn't work. Yes. I knew the storm was coming.

I need to hurry. I'm going to get wet now. This storm looked very bad. I can not believe this. Junior. Go, my heart, be still. Think of me. Raising my son alone since he was three months old is my greatest achievement. But I hope it arrives until Tuesday. Junior graduates in three days, and watching him graduate is just... We have a really bad storm upon us, and we're heading into it. I had to leave the Model A and return to New Hampshire. There are another, I don't know, 6,700 miles up there. There is nothing stopping me from attending my son's

graduation

except death.

That's all. Okay, Junior, I have to go. Alright. I love you friend. Things are going to get really bad soon. 6:00 a.m. m., the sun rises. I can hear it's raining outside. And I have to get out of here. I don't know how the hell I'm going to do it yet. Last night we hunkered down for the night just to see what the storm was going to do. And I have to get home to New Hampshire, so we're going to drive straight through it. I only have about two hours to get out of this area, because she's coming right here.

The wind had died down a little, but the rain was scandalous. You can't see anything. Muffy, put on your seat belt. We're getting into it now. Yes. Well, I have this Model A in my trailer and I have never driven in so much rain before. But I have a whole line of emergency vehicles behind me. There's a lot of water right there. Before you know it, it will cover the entire road. Yeah, it was a pretty good storm. I put Muffy in his cage. That's what I focused on. In fact, this is the first time I have seen this road.

There is no car to be seen anywhere. In fact, I drove for about an hour and a half and didn't see a single car coming toward me. Road Closed. Do Not Enter. Well, Muffy, we just got word that the road is closed. What I have to do is find my way. Once we got off the highway, we ended up in a small town there. Oh. Yes, that water is deep right there. I don't know if I want to fight that. That's pretty... pretty scary. You can't afford to make bad decisions, but 99% of the time, your first reaction is the right reaction.

I have solid stone balls, so let's try it. The bad thing about road closures is that you end up in this type of garbage. The truck sank deeper and deeper into the water. And there's a moment where I look in the rearview mirror and see water around my trailer. If I had stopped, I would have filled the trailer with water. Now I have to find a way to get out of here. I ended up being two and a half hours late and three hours late for me. I was simply in a hurry to get to New Hampshire for my son's

graduation

.

And nothing will get my way. You are kidding, right? Everywhere I go, it's closed. Son of . I don't know about you, Muffy, but I'm starting to get dizzy from all the circles we're doing. This storm was the worst I have ever been through. So I just... I just want to get there and get this over with. Customers don't really think about what we go through and don't really give a damn... Robert Pomeroy, how are you? I am doing it right. I guess I have a 1930 Model A. All they care about is getting their stuff and that's it.

It doesn't work, so we'll take it off the trailer. Do you need it right there? Yes, almost there. Alright, here we go. Until you discharge these burdens, they remain your responsibility. Scuff marks and scratches when I left there. If you go around it you will see that there is nothing wrong with it. You know, I've done 300 or 400 cars and I've yet to damage one. Are you ready with that? Yes that's fine. That's good. You don't care... I don't care... Do you pick them up or... What I need you to write here? They are delivered, without damage to the driver.

Give me my money, sign my document and I'll be on my way. Muffy. Can you hold that? Muffy wants to find me, no matter what. I happened to look and she fell to the ground. I was like, oh... I have to go catch my cat. Come here, fool. Come here. That damn cat. Crazy cat. You hit my cat, you hurt my cat, you are not safe anywhere in the world. What are you doing? Do not do that. Now the hard part. That was easy. Alright, let's move on to the next one. Nice to meet you. I was simply in a hurry to get to New Hampshire to see my son's graduation, and that was it.

Okay let's go. There was no way I would miss my son's graduation. ANNOUNCER: Travis Levi... Storm, cat, nothing... nothing will stop me... I ended up being a really good kid. Now that he's graduated, I just hope he does what he wants. I would prefer that you not follow in my footsteps. I have arrived. I love you. I love you too, dad.
