They struggle to make ends meet in the face of corrupt businessmen and intense competition. They are forced into driving long hours, and one night pick up waitress Cassie Hartley whos just quit her job at a truck stop. The three of them witness the death of a mutual acquaintance when he falls asleep at the wheel. This has a profound effect on Paul and Joe and they become determined to find a way to make the business pay so they can quit.
Joe and Paul Fabrini are two wildcat truck drivers struggling to stay one step ahead of their creditors. Their job requires long hours on the road and prevents them from getting enough sleep. Pauls wife worries shes going to find herself a widow some day and for good reason. Joe, Paul and a hardboiled waitress they pick up hitchhiking are witness to just how dangerous the business is. They watch in horror when the driver of the truck ahead of them falls asleep and runs off the road; both men inside die in a fiery explosion. Eventually, Joe goes to work for an old friend, who now runs his own trucking business. Ed Carlsen is rich and successful, but hes still a regular fellow and hasnt lost the vulgar manners of his class. This annoys his wife Lana to no end. Shes clearly nouveau riche herself, but wants to rise above the low-class antics of her husband. And shes in love with Joe, who wants nothing to do with her. This drives her to commit murder.
