Come on, we're going for a ride.
Yes I do have a travel companion.
Most of the time, I call her Muffy.
She goes everywhere with me.
No matter where I go, she goes.
Loaded, ready to go.
I'm headed off to pick up a 1930 Model A. There will
be no problems with this load.
We will just put it in the truck and drive away.
[INAUDIBLE], right?
Hi, Roy.
Yes, sir, I am.
How's it going?
Model A.
That's it.
Wow.
I've owned a few classic cars in my time.
Model A is a very collectible car.
Unfortunately, it doesn't run.
Yeah.
I knew that the storm was coming.
[THUNDER CRACKS] I need to hurry up.
Going to get wet now.
This storm was looking real bad.
I can't believe this [BLEEP].
[PHONE RINGS]
Junior.
Wow, my heart, be still.
You thought of me.
Raising my son by myself since he was three months old
is my greatest achievement.
But I'm hoping it'll make it till Tuesday.
Junior graduates in three days, and seeing him graduate
is just--
We got a real bad storm going on us,
and we're driving right into it.
I had to get the Model A dropped off
and get back to New Hampshire.
It's another, I don't know, 6, 700 miles up there.
There ain't nothing going to keep me from my son's
graduation except for death.
That's it.
All right, Junior, I got to go.
All right.
Love you, buddy.
It's going to get real bad shortly.
6:00 AM, sun's coming up.
I can hear it raining out there.
And I've got to get out of here.
I don't know how the hell I'm going to do it yet.
We hunkered down for the night last night
just to see what the storm was going to do.
And I got to get home to New Hampshire,
so we're just going to drive straight through it.
I've only got about two hours to get
out of this area, because she's coming right in here.
The wind had slowed down a little bit,
but the rain was just outrageous.
You can't see a damn thing.
Muffy, put on your seat belt. We're getting into it now.
Yeah.
Well, I got this Model A in my trailer,
and I haven't driven through that much rain before.
I got a whole line of emergency vehicles
coming up behind me, though.
That's a lot of water right there.
Before you know it, it's going to cover the entire highway.
Yeah, it was a pretty good storm.
I put Muffy in her cage.
That's how much I concentrated.
This is actually the first time I've seen this highway.
There's not a car anywhere to be seen.
I actually drove for about an hour and a half
and didn't see a single car coming at me.
Roadway closed.
Do not enter.
[BLEEP]
Well, Muffy, we were just informed
that the roadway is closed.
What I've got to do is I've got to find my way around.
Once we got off the highway, we ended up
off in some little town there.
Whoa.
Yeah, that water is deep right there.
I don't know if I want to battle that.
That one's pretty-- pretty scary right there.
You can't afford to make bad decisions,
but 99% of the time, your first reaction is the right reaction.
I got balls of solid stones, so let's try it.
There's the bad thing about road closures--
you end up in this kind of crap.
Truck just got deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper
into the water.
And there's one point when I look at my rearview mirror,
and there's water going around my trailer.
If I'd have stopped it would have
filled the trailer with water.
Now I've got to find us a way the hell out of here.
Ended up at a two and 1/2, three-hour delay to me.
I was just in a hurry to get to New Hampshire
to get my son's graduation.
And there ain't a damn thing gonna get my way.
You're kidding me, right?
[BLEEP] Everywhere I go, [BLEEP] is closed.
Son of a [BLEEP].
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 that I've ever driven through.
So I just-- I just want to get there and get it over with.
The customers don't really think about what we go through,
and they don't really give a [BLEEP]..
Robert Pomeroy, how are you doing?
I'm doing good.
I've got a 1930 Model A, I reckon.
All they care about is getting their stuff, and that's it.
It doesn't run, so we're going to roll
it right out of the trailer.
You need it right there?
Yeah, just about in there.
All right, here we go.
Until you get these loads unloaded,
they're still your responsibility.
Scuff mark and scratches when I left there.
If you walk around it, you'll see that there's
nothing wrong with it.
You know, I've done 300 or 400 cars,
and I've yet to damage one.
You all set with that?
Yeah, that's fine.
That's good.
You don't give a [BLEEP],, I don't give a [BLEEP]..
Do you collect these, or--
Thing I need for you to write down here--
delivered, no driver damage.
Give me my money, sign my paper, and I'll be on my way.
[CAT MEOWING] Muffy.
Can you hold that?
Muffy wants to find me, no matter what.
I just happened to look over, and she hit the ground.
I was like, oh, [BLEEP],, I gotta go catch my cat.
Come here, dummy.
Come here.
That darn cat.
Crazy cat.
You hit my cat, you hurt my cat, you're
not safe anywhere in the world.
What are you doing?
Don't be doing that.
Now the hard part.
That was easy.
All right, we're moving on to the next one.
Nice to meet you.
I was just in a hurry to get to New Hampshire
to see my kid's graduation, and that was it.
All right, let's go.
No way I would miss my son's graduation.
ANNOUNCER: Travis Levi [INAUDIBLE]..
Storm, cat, nothing-- ain't nothing going to stop me--
Ended up being a real good kid.
Now he's graduated, I just hope he
does whatever he wants to do.
I would prefer him not to follow in my footsteps.
I have arrived.
I love you.
I love you too, Dad.
