The Help Who Owned the Road

Veteran trucker Cole’s flawless safety record built Hastings Freight’s reputation and secured their key client, Richlane. Doug, his childhood friend and now the boss, treats Cole like disposable help. He tosses Cole $100,000 as if it’s pocket change, claiming capital takes all the risk and keeps all the profit. Doug fails to see every contract, insurance policy and route approval hinges entirely on Cole’s license and spotless record. When Cole quits to start his own company, Doug’s hollow business collapses overnight. Left desperate and broke, Doug is forced to beg for a job — tasting the same disrespect he once dished out.
