Truckers Vs Highway Patrol

Oklahoma, the heart of Central America, this gigantic

highway

connects the east coast with the west, it is one of the busiest roads in the country and also one of the most dangerous. McCand tries to maintain law and order here. He is the sheriff of this

highway

that he runs. a team specially created to fight against the excesses of

truckers

, these road monsters certainly keep you busy and there are

truckers

here who think they own the road because they are the largest vehicle, that is not the case, this road is being shared by everyone and every time they start doing that that's when people get mad at them and call them out.

We receive reports every day of a reckless truck driver in the US. There are no speed cameras on the roads for Ben to spot. reckless drivers on the spot, but this system is far from adequate and the driver's watch is marked as car from afar and they alert each other by radio to try to beat them in the game. Ben has an extra weapon in his arsenal. His colleague Eric in the sky, okay, he just saw a heavy vehicle that appears to be driving over 70 miles per hour. Eric's method of detecting speeding drivers is far from high-tech.

He uses a stopwatch. It counts the time needed between two points and then makes a quick calculation. 89 miles. one hour 93 miles per hour so 89.93 12. nice and it's a method that works the driver travels 20 miles over the speed limit on the ground ben stops the driver and quickly discovers that speeding is not the only area in which What the trucker finds complete is a Ruger 44 magnum super blackhawk, he does not have a license for the weapon he is carrying and it is also loaded. Many of these drivers here drive cross-country, go from state to state, delivering loads that may have a firearm in a vehicle as long as they have a permit to carry it, what that police officer is going to do is write you a ticket for speeding, a ticket for changing lanes and a ticket for transporting a loaded firearm without a permit uh the police officer will make you keep the ammunition will give him back his gun let the guy continue down the road after a reprimand the driver is fired with a $360 fine but it remains to be seen if he learned his lesson speeding working crazy hours driving under the Influential truckers are the guys Highway bad guys.

Can they be trusted to control such powerful and potentially dangerous vehicles? This truck driver tries to escape from the police, leaving behind a path of devastation. It seems unstoppable. The police finally stop him by shooting out his tires at the end. Year, heavy vehicles were involved in 41,300 accidents causing large-scale damage and sometimes resulting in deaths. Four thousand eight hundred died and more than one hundred thousand were injured. Ben never knows what each day on

patrol

will bring him a couple of times. We spoke with the trucks, the boys were quite nervous. We found out that we stopped some trucks and found a large load of drugs in the trucks or a large load of money in the US.

Truckers have earned a bad reputation in high speed. pursues drug problems and immoral behavior, just some of the excesses that have made truck drivers infamous in America. We hit the road with the former sailor León, he left everything behind to make a fortune with his articulated truck. I was assaulted as a truck driver. They say if you are, if you've driven a truck for two years or more, it's in your blood. There are many surprises in store for those new to the job. On the one hand, there is the glamorous side of the profession. the guys get together once a year in las vegas to compare their different trucks, take care, i'm going into the great sanctuary, oh my god, on the other hand, there's the more hyped and shadier world of gas stations, caroline, a former prostitute She used to work at truck stops, is it the bp in Maple or the one down the road?

Today she is trying to help women free themselves from this nightmare of prostitution, drug trafficking and even serial murder investigator Pat Postiglione is the man tracking down lawless truckers. We have several. Syrian killers kill girls all over the country and the reason they become hard to find is because they are long distance truck drivers, so how do you survive in this highway jungle where the power seems to be in the hands of those with the power? larger vehicles be independent, hit the road and maybe make a fortune for many Americans, like León, becoming a truck driver is an accessible dream, you don't need to complete your studies, all you need is a driving license.

León gave up the strength to become an independent driver. I just started in this profession and is often surprised with what each day he brings. He invested all of his $31,000 savings in this truck. The truck is his only home. And spending life in a five-square-meter cabin is not always easy. This is my home. keep my socks here my underwear here is my refrigerator and it keeps everything cold and ice I can put ice cream in here some belts I have some vitamins you know and then I have this yeah, well, it could be, yeah, it could be a kitchen, whatever you want I want getting in there I live in this truck I work in this truck it's like a prison I guess you already know that, but you try to enjoy living here in a good month Leon makes over five thousand dollars but he's starting to get a little disillusioned Halfway to New York, where you must deliver your goods, you stop at the largest truck stop in the US, Iowa 80.

It is a gigantic gas station reserved for truckers that stretches along a kilometer of highway. The first kiss. I spent all my time here this is like my second home besides my truck at the truck stops here they have showers you know, restaurants that have you know junk food pretty much everything you know what a trucker needs the wild station is a space for truckers to refuel and catch up on sleep, but it's also a place to catch up and show off their trucks. This is a Freightliner classic for truck manufacturers. These service stations are ideal showrooms to attract future customers who cannot resist temptation.

León is like a kid in a candy store. What a pity! They didn't give me the key, but new trucks aren't cheap. Very nice, clean and expensive truck. Very expensive. I would say this costs over a hundred thousand dollars. Yes, it's more than some houses you know in the US. 75. of all merchandise is transported by truck Leon has no problem finding work ads for transportation companies are displayed on this screen at the truck stop for his next mission leon has many options to choose from all these from city to city you are picking up like iowa or illinois and this is where you go to different states and cities at the bottom of each ad there is a phone number leon you just need to make a quick call to get work do you have something to pick up tomorrow pick up pick up tomorrow and deliver 7 45 what day is fine sir thank you very much sir can I call you again?

León has just found his next job. He will pick up televisions in New York to deliver them to Los Angeles on a trip that will take him cross-country through as many states as he can. pick it up today or tomorrow at the truck stop they have thought of everything to keep the truckers happy cleaning facilities a games room a cinema there is even a dentist and a hair salon where leon stops regularly you sit here and to take off my why I leave my hat here, oh my goodness, I look like a trucker who appreciates these comforts, but it's not enough with the inherent exhaustion and loneliness of the job, after 500 miles behind the wheel, swallows an entry in this anonymous look. restaurant where no one talks to anyone it's only 9 pm but leon returns to his taxi it's safer at night the truck stop becomes a much scarier place after dark these gas stations become a market for prostitutes and drug dealers targeting truckers for business and How long have you been working at truck stops around 99 and does it work well or is it also hot the other day it's great it's a dangerous area I hope they killed you?

In fact, they broke a guy's head in today? his blood is all over the sidewalk so that's why be careful what you're doing you're in an area where they sell drugs okay so you said he was going up yeah drugs so yeah he called here for two bucks all the nights. Caroline enters the shadow. truck stop world she is well aware of the danger women are in tonight she is on a mission to help the parking lot lizards the trucker's nickname for prostitutes you will find them lurking among the trucks looking for punters this is where they will come and They will touch the trucks.

Here you can see how girls can make quite a bit of money here because there are tons of trucks and if you buy five trucks and you make fifty dollars per truck, I know you're going to bring in 300 400 500 that and you could charge them more here because they don't know what the going rate is on the street. Caroline hovers around the trucks ready to intervene if the women need her. They know that she. the phone is always on in case of an emergency hi is it maple's bp or the one further down the line is dasha who has worked truck stops for 20 years she is a crack addict and tonight has reached the crisis point? right, thank you, she is one of my most difficult clients that I have to deal with, she has four children and her mother has three, I think she had a baby die and she has been through a crack motel, yes, and she uses IV.

She injects cocaine. In fact, she attempted suicide. She walked in front of a car about nine months ago and was very hurt. Dasha is waiting for Caroline in front of her pimp's house. She seems completely lost. She there she is she. Do you have shoes? oh, okay, I just got out of here, I just got it, I have to do some partying or I'm going to stay here. Caroline decides to take Dasha to the nearest detox center. You guys give me a bus ticket in italics, one of my nieces. Well, today's. on Saturday so you will go out on Monday or Tuesday and then you can go down to rediscover well, do whatever on this avenue, I can't do it anymore, pop, no, I have nothing, I had a fight with her family, Dasha Saw. prostitution as her only option now her world is the truck stop and it's a seedy atmosphere she asked me if I knew god you know that's stupid that's how my grandma is he doesn't even know god are you right about jesus ?

Caroline leaves Dasha in an emergency shelter for drug addicts. She will stay there for two days. Caroline knows it is an uphill struggle, but it is possible to get out of there. Addicted to crack since she was 14, Caroline fell into the clutches of a pimp when she arrived in Missouri in her little girl. house in Kansas City she kept all the bad memories in this gray shoe box raw photographs of the afternoons she spent with other prostitutes to entertain lonely truckers these are just the photos of the house where we lived and the girls we had in house one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven girls it was just one big party for days until you passed out that's me.

Caroline can empathize because she was once under the control of a pimp and lost all control over her. life this is the guy who made all the decisions he directed everything he would take us all to the truck stop he would say don't come home until you have like three hundred dollars five hundred dollars until you have your share there are times when I was doing oral sex with a man and I would fall asleep from being awake for so long, you know? Or if you sat there long enough you fell asleep and there was nothing you could do about it because your body after a certain time just gives up his ordeal lasted three years today the pimp is in prison for drug crimes this afternoon caroline found refuge in dasha but in two days she will manage to prevent him from falling back into truck stop hell it's dawn in iowa 80 and leon is getting ready to leave again the other truckers in the parking lot often surprise him this morning met jonathan from texas a kung fu fan wow that was good it's very good and you lost 60 pounds so far 68 pounds 60. 60. yes, you have 15 more to go.

My mom told me to lose 50 pounds and that she'll find me a girlfriend, so I have to do something too. He's good, although he lacks company. Leon takes a moment. to chat but soon you will face a stress common to all truck drivers the fear of being late you only have five hours to deliver your merchandise you panic at the slightest delay oh no that's what it means it started on which street I said I was going on the right way first man got lost a little got lost a little sister correction a little that's all it is imperative that the truck arrives according to the customer's schedule if the cargo arrives late it's the truckers who are fine they will probably get mad at me because I'm late and then he could deduct my salary because I'm late and say: well, we'll take 100, 50, 100 or 200 from you because you were late this time.

León is fine, butIt's been a stressful day. the goods are unloaded just in time León immediately leaves to pick up the televisions very good guys, I'm off to the road, now another adventure on the road many, many, many, many miles to drive, schedule your consecutive deliveries without rest win Money in a country where truckers are the kings of the road, some drivers have built small empires on a hill above San Diego, California, there is a luxurious villa that belongs to Marie and Bill Sandwick. Did you drop something? his property measures 400 square meters it has a stunning view of the valley a jacuzzi on the terrace and a collection of race cars and boats in the garage it's just a car that we restored um we restored it we painted it all again and we restored it it's a 70th anniversary corvette of chevy silver the sandwich made his fortune with his transport company bill used to be a cabinet maker but at the age of 40 he joined to buy a truck and became self-employed his specialty is transporting marble pavers something that is in great demand in the homes of california sandwich backlog is always full of wanting to remind people of their success they even pave the floors of the display trucks with marble this truck was actually our first display truck the floors of this truck are granite stone Europe they have etched glass mirror brackets our son made these mirror brackets they are all custom a billet that is made from a single piece of aluminum if you are looking at a truck like this minimum 150,000 minimum these days there are 15 employees of Foot soldiers bill and marie are not preparing for a delivery but for an important occasion in three days they will enter two of their trucks in a beauty pageant in las vegas a prestigious competition that can make or break the reputation of a business marie It has its comfortable interior to take home a prize this is basically a race what you would do is come here and just cool off the air conditioning would be on and you would talk about what what you are doing has a microwave inside has the refrigerator in the freezer and this is my favorite room this is the bathroom the sandwich scrupulously takes care of their trucks down to the small details the dirt around the screws will lift this they look under here, take out the polish and the dirt with my knife and I take the straw, the jury too will take into consideration employee engagement in an area that is being seen a lot more, what's wrong with you?

Get in there and take a shower, come on Not here, don't get naked here, Sammy, one of the drivers, is excited at the prospect of going to Las Vegas. Will the sandwich be able to maintain control of his troops in Sin City, in a place where anything goes and casinos and strip clubs are open? 24 hours a day there is plenty to tempt you. Las Vegas only comes once a year, so there's no question of sleeping in the truck. Bill and Marie have checked into one of the most famous hotels in the city. Yes, we did it, we did it.

Yes this night. Marie advises her team to take it a little easy, but she is worried because temptation is everywhere in Las Vegas, so the boss prefers to put his drivers on guard, especially Sammy. If you stay there, you'll be in trouble in five minutes. You get here. Yes, I saw you were looking, you want to come in, tell me it's the joker, that's all he's always joking about. No, hello, they say hello, oh, then they get your wallet, don't talk to anyone, don't ask for anything, stay here, Marie is not wrong. There are many dangers in store for truckers in Las Vegas this afternoon with 60 men

patrol

ling 140,000 miles of highway.

Ben, the traffic cop in charge of Oklahoma's heavy vehicle unit, has a difficult time maintaining law and order. He takes revenge, but once a day. year during the big roadblock a giant inspection carried out simultaneously on all US highways we check the driver's log book we take their driver's license we check their medical card if a driver is sick or ill then we can play some other service, even during these exceptional checks, the police are not well equipped to evaluate drivers, while in Europe trucks are equipped with tachographs to indicate their speed and travel time, nothing similar exists in the United States, it is relied on that American drivers record their schedules in a notebook but most do not take the time to fill it out ben stops the person in charge of this convoy transporting a wind farm his first concern is checking the driver's fatigue levels you have a long board without the notebook Ben has no way to know if the driver has been on the road longer than the 11 hour limit, okay, what am I going to do with your driver?

I'm going to put you up for 10 hours, no book. registration, okay, you have to take Your truck goes off the road for a 10-hour break and pays a $120 fine. This unexpected stop means you will be late for your delivery and your customer will be angry. Stupid law they came up with to make more money by going where a man can. He cannot run his own business or private company without going bankrupt. Ben is aware that some drivers are working to exhaustion to complete as many deliveries as possible, risking catastrophe this summer. He has seen many fatal accidents as a result of fatigue. just fit driver fell asleep at the wheel crashed into six other vehicles at 70 miles per hour 10 people died American highways stretched for hundreds of miles in a straight line biggest pitfall for drivers some drivers turn to drugs to sustain themselves awake the drug of choice is methamphetamine or, as it is more commonly known, methamphetamine.

I must warn you that the images you are about to see are really difficult to see. We are bringing to light the terrible cost of methamphetamine added to the national population. institute two years ago this report shocked the trucking community that records the prolonged suffering of sean bridge a driver addicted to methamphetamine his friends filmed his decline over the course of several months dozens of truckers traveled to his funeral driving trucks in the The family Bridge, Sean's father, Jack, is a truck driver in Illinois. I took a shot to drive. I took him in the truck with me.

I taught him to drive when he was 15 16 years old. He was a fantastic driver, but he got in the way of him. Sean frequently drove from the East Coast to the West, away from his wife and three children, and he raced from contract to contract despite driving over the 11-hour limit while he was tired. They are photos of the last seven years of his life here with his wife Peggy. I think he probably started using meth as a way to increase his productivity and be able to stay awake and do longer runs. I think that's what he was doing because he was trying so hard to succeed.

Methamphetamine is a popular stimulant that provides its users with a rush of energy, but the effects on the body are irreversible. On the left we see a photo of the driver before he became dependent on the drug. On the right, the same man for two years. Subsequently weight loss, self-mutilation, becoming more aggressive, and premature aging in the US, thousands of truck drivers have tested positive for methamphetamine and Sean's is not an isolated case. His family wants his ordeal to serve as a warning to the profession he couldn't speak about. He couldn't walk, he could barely move, he couldn't do anything for himself and he had to come back from that very slowly and he got to the point.

He was walking just a few steps, he was getting up. Out of bed his body was shutting down he just couldn't fight it anymore Sean died of his methamphetamine addiction in March 2007 at the age of 35. hellish schedules exhaustion stress truck driver leon is getting used to it he says he never touches drugs but his family is worried about him today he is in santa cruz, california his family lives here leon only allows himself one week off each year so this is a rare opportunity to catch up with his truck driving lifestyle that worries his sister and she is under surveillance while he gradually distanced himself from society, driving the truck has gone to his head, it has made him a little aha, a crazy little guy, personally I'd like to see him, I don't know, do something else, I think he could do something that's a little healthier for him, you know, and where he's not away from home for so long, because if he's away for so long , I mean, I'm worried that you know that he's not going to meet someone, I guess maybe he'll see one, five, five more years and I.

I'll probably find someone, someone Leon is allowing himself three days off. It is the maximum of him. He never stays longer after spending so much time on the road. He's getting addicted. They have trained me as a truck driver. They say if you've been driving a truck for two years or more, it's in your blood and then there's a five-year mark. Once you're in this business for five years, you're in it forever. Leon hasn't quite done it. I'm still at that stage, but some truckers have completely isolated themselves from the rest of the world, which sometimes has dangerous effects on their mental health.

Some have even committed murder. Nashville, Tennessee, the city famous for country music and Elvis Presley, but Nashville has also become home to a series. of crimes for which truckers are the number one suspects the FBI has even created a special unit to address these crimes thanks to this unit pat postaglioni was able to solve a chilling investigation cold case unit right here these are the supervisor rooms right here This is where the detectives are located in this room. You can see that the detectives have all the cubicles that are here and there are six detectives here.

Pat's research began with this map. He points to murders committed at truck stops in total. 500 people have been killed, most of them. women who work as prostitutes is that there are several serial killers out there, not just one, there are several serial killers killing girls all over the country and the reason they become hard to find is because they are long distance truckers and they could be in the northeast on monday and they could be in texas on wednesday and they could have killed two or three people and it's very difficult to make a connection from the northeast to texas pat believes dozens of serial killer truck drivers are operating throughout of the country's highways it is here in this suburb of Nashville where he faced his first truck driver, a serial killer.

The police arrived and found that a woman, Sarah Hulbert, had been murdered and abandoned in the back of the truck stop, they put her to bed and she was taken in and worked on by our unit and we determined that there was a high probability that we were dealing with a stereotypical killer. Sarah was only 25 years old when her mutilated body was found in a ditch. She had been killed by a gunshot to the head. Sarah was the mother of two little girls and lived with her aunt and her sisters now it's up to them to take care of her children you're stupid she's sarah and these are her girls this one is Georgian the youngest and that one is gracie we saw something on the news that tomorrow that um, a young woman was murdered at a truck stop and you know, we didn't, we didn't think anything about it.

Sarah Sarah had disappeared before and we hadn't spoken to her for several days and then she showed up again because of the lifestyle she chose to live it wasn't like that sarah was a sensible girl but after her mother died she got lost and fell into drugs she was only 13 to pay for her crack addiction sarah worked as a prostitute in the stop truck he tried to change, you know, several times, but the drugs, just the drug addiction, overwhelmed her and she couldn't, couldn't quit pass as part of his investigation, Pat Postaglioni reviewed all the images captured by the surveillance cameras at the truck stop with a ticket on his comb he saw a yellow truck that became a cause for concern, Pat began tracking it it reappeared regularly in the crime scene just a month after the murder a stroke of luck occurred the yellow truck stopped Up one more time, where you see that blue truck.

I saw the yellow truck right there. The exact same thing we are seeing now and I got into the left lane and saw it better. He slowed down. He slowed down to the right with his The police cars slowed down right here and I told my detective I was going to follow him and I didn't realize what he was doing, but what he did was he turned down this street, he turned and when he did, i turned around behind him and he drove by here the driver was hanging around the truck stop pat postaglioni followed him and then decided to approach him i saw some blood on his nails and then i saw some blood on the door, the inside from the driver's door I saw some blood stains and um something told me uh it would probably be a good idea not to let him leave until you look inside the truck, inside, Pat found a knife, an electrical cord and a garbage bag full of clothes stained with blood in the cabin, there was a 252 long rifle the same model used tokill sarah the driver was immediately arrested and identified as bruce mendenhall, 58, awaiting trial while detained at police headquarters a stone's throw from pat's office in this case i mean he wasn't much different from other truckers As far as we know, a sociopath probably doesn't have any conscience at all, he could probably kill someone and then go out and eat a hamburger.

Bruce Mendenhall admitted to murdering four women, but investigators accused him of committing three more. All of her victims were prostitutes in Kansas City we met Caroline the guardian angel of working women at the truck shop in the space of 10 years she has seen 50 women disappear her death was often met with widespread indifference the board here is um the girls who have passed away or are missing when it says wings it means they have passed away and then some of them say they were last seen so they are missing girls. Stories circulate that women have been held captive for days and others were beaten to death, she and Caroline.

All my friends have found themselves in extreme situations. I've been in some bad situations because sometimes they want to keep you on the truck, you know, and get the money back, or you know, be forceful with you and things like that, you know, they don't do it. I don't like to be alone on the road and they think well if I buy drugs or give you money, you know what I'm saying and then I'll have you as my sex toy too. You know these girls when they've been up for it. The days they take these medications sometimes they fall asleep so they wake up and they'll be in other cities and states and they won't even realize where they are and you know that could be really scary for them in Kansas City, almost.

A thousand women work as prostitutes at truck stops, so the need for Caroline to continue her work is always present here on the right side of about five blocks away there is a big corner where there is a lot of prostitution oh and there is a girl hey I'm with Verónica's voice, we're handing out condoms and stuff, today there you go, okay, thank you, but on the corner there's a bad surprise waiting for Caroline Dasha, the woman addicted to crack has fallen back into prostitution despite the time she spent in the rehab center we need some condoms caroline couldn't do anything for dasha despite her best efforts prostitutes are drawn to truck stops of desperation but girls aren't the only ones looking for truckers suzanne and mike have been making the rounds in the parking lot for years but for a very different purpose there is one here ben how are you man chaplin michael we are alone again we are just hanging around the truck stops uh we have some uh here we have some give him a DVD we give you messages that you listen to like this that when you feel alone listen to it I think it will help you these two evangelists do it The rounds at the truck stops almost every day in an attempt to rescue those who have been lost, we simply came to stop by and say hello, I am the chaplain of the truckers, so, you know, we have a chapel on top. there, uh, but basically we're there for you guys, these truckers had just sat down to enjoy a peaceful barbecue, now they're stuck in an impromptu prayer session, we're coming for you, father, lord, we just thank you for these guys here and for their wives sir and their girlfriend's sir and I pray father that you protect them sir father let them earn some money sir and father uh bless their families while they are away sir it's a hard life for them and I agree that They don't have to do it, they're supposed to do it, sir, but father, sometimes the dew, if you want, comes from you, not from us, amen, it's okay, thank you very much guys, thank you God bless you tonight, Mike and Suzanne will hold a service in their chapel.

Located on an articulated truck it integrates perfectly into the landscape there is space for 20 people inside a crucifix and religious images adapted to attract its audience and the musicians create the right atmosphere in the background Suzanne offers her own interpretation of the communion cookies take the place for bread and for wine, the grape juice does its job, a lot of people don't drink, so we don't want to serve wine and you know they have respect, plus they have a lot of temptations here at the truck stop, like prostitution drugs There are all kinds of temptations selling and stolen goods and all that when they got to this truck stop mike and suzanne thought they were only going to stay a week we have you brother we have you I pray right now sir that father you would know Willie's needs, sir father , give him a place to live, father, give him a job, sir, yes, father, next time we see, he will go, man, I got a job, that sir will be yours, sir father, you are the miracle man, but having seen.

Given the magnitude of the task at hand, they have decided to stay in Las Vegas for at least a year. It's the big day for the Sandwicks. There are only a few hours left until the competition. Marie has problems with the staff. One of the drivers has disappeared. I'm going to go see if I can find sammy at the hotel. I was going to call them but the phone is off. The phone is off. Now sammy was last seen in a bar the night before and there has been no news since. hey, what happened, what happened last night with sammy, he played all night, he probably paid, he played for about what 12, 12 or 12 hours, where have you been, uh, stealing my money, two ladies, they stole your money, how much two thousand Two thousand, I thought you were fourteen. the police and then what happened a couple of cooks came with socks and stole the money the prostitutes you know it's Las Vegas it's not sure what they did how did they get your money?

They were just talking to you nicely and they grabbed your wallet or what without the room oh they took it oh so now we have a problem with you you had some girls in the room yeah one month's salary was stolen in a night, the girls took the trucker for a ride, it's a classic Las Vegas ruse, their boss's warnings fell on deaf ears. ears, tomorrow a semi-comatose employee will get sick lying on the sofa does not contribute much to the company's image and, furthermore, the competition seems fierce. The most beautiful trucks in the country are there because of the state of the engine.

For the unique decoration, every small detail account. Tensions rise between the contestants in the parking lot. You're not out of the beauty pageant. Although this guy may seem like a redneck, he is actually one of the most successful people in the industry. world for his first foray into competition, he's decided to really go for it, oh my goodness, an interior that wouldn't look out of place in a five-star hotel, the height of American luxury and decadence, completely built, all new. Here's a bathroom with a shower, cherry wood cabinets, everything is done, um, look at the sink, the brass sink, this would be the extreme of American luxury on the road, how much did this truck cost?

Only one million five hundred thousand dollars, incredible at this price. every little fantasy is allowed a step a little closer a little more oh my god there's an original harley-davidson hidden in the back of the truck it's the first time even in Las Vegas oh my god but Marie thinks she's found the heel of Achilles from her rival that she thinks is too confident if I were judging this truck, the first and second thing I would do is walk up to these fenders and I would do this. This isn't supposed to be on a show truck.

None of this dirt should be on a show truck. this is what Bill knows my husband this is what he knows you have to be clean you have to be clean this is good for us although the three judges are in blue overalls they are all truckers whether they are drivers or mechanics bill is not worried even though As the judges examined the truck from top to bottom for 20 agonizing minutes, the judges are looking for the slightest imperfection to take these kings of the road down a couple of notches, there are stains on the chimney and a small dent in the paint.

I can see it's starting to fall apart these little details can reduce the final grade the sandwich will now find out the verdict we are not picky we will accept everything we are not picky we will take whatever one two three that no It doesn't matter what you think we should have, like in the Oscar, there is a prize for each category, the best paint job, the best engine, but the only one that really counts is the prize for the most beautiful truck, in the end a Canadian truck driver takes the most. coveted prize for him it's not about making money but about securing a big publicity hit his truck's filters will be published in all the newspapers and magazines in the industry but marie can't help but be a sore loser for us she's too busy but there's a lot people like that truck, it has a complete history, your truck our truck does not have a history, it is more modern, younger, the new generation and the different school, but with the costs of travel and maintenance, these contests cost you a lot more money for the sandwich. of what they earn, but this loss won't stop them in a few months, Bill and Marie will try their luck again in another contest in Dallas, there's no way Bill won't stop showing up, not now, so we'll do it and we'll do whatever.

Do it and do it again as your spectacular convoy travels across the vast expanses of America that remember the early pioneers. This is perhaps the last trace of romance in the dream of driving a truck.
