Rain slicks the asphalt as the 18-wheeler’s diesel engine thrums beneath you. Headlights cut through the dark, illuminating a cross-country haul of unknown cargo. The CB radio crackles to life, a dispatcher’s voice slicing through the static: 'Got a hot job for you, trucker. You in?' The open road awaits, endless and unforgiving, demanding a choice at every mile marker.
