## Synopsis

Lamar buys a 2019 Freightliner Cascadia Sleeper with a single rear axle to deliver items to his grandmother, and invites David, Levi, Dolo, Rollin, and Sean on the ride, as well as Lapis and Tyler. Since Tyler is the only person Lamar trusts, he sits in the co-pilot seat of the truck as Lamar drives across the country and ensures that he is able to get there using his GPS that he installed inside the truck. Levi, David, and Dolo are in the sleeper section playing a card game on the table that came with the truck. Upon entering the interstate, Tyler pulls out a paper map to help get there, though Lamar says that he has a GPS that he will use as it is up to date.

After two hours of driving, the gang stops at a Love's Truck Stop to use the bathroom, and Lamar begins to stretch himself after those two hours of driving. After using the bathroom, they stop and eat at a nearby Denny's annexed inside of the stop. The gang order pancakes and sausages with root beer and Lamar is eventually noticed by another trucker who is travelling to southern California to deliver freight from FedEx. He suddenly familiarizes the gang as he has seen Lamar on TV countless amount of times before. He asks him if he's working at CCTV Productions as a tow truck driver and Lamar replies yes. The trucker praises Lamar for his work at CCTV's parking lot as he tows illegal parkers in the company's parking lot.

Hours into night time, Lamar begins to get tired and Tyler sees if he can take the wheel or if someone else can take it for him, though the gang argues that they do not have CDL licenses and that Tyler is only 17, so Levi decides to drive the truck with Lamar in the bunk. This only causes them to eventually get stranded onto a snowy mountain, which Lamar does not notice until waking up.

Lamar begins to have a dream that he has arrived to his grandmother's house with the gang and they all start singing Hanukkah, though Lamar eventually wakes up from his dream only to find himself stranded in the middle of nowhere. Levi informs him that they are stuck on top of a rocky mountain covered in snow, in which Lamar screams in fear. Lamar becomes very angry and forces the gang to explain what happened and how they ended up like the way they were, Levi and Tyler then start to explain that some mistakes were made when driving. Tyler explains that if they drove then they would be able to get it delivered on time, Levi explains that they didn't even stop for a bathroom break. Lamar angrily sends Levi, David, Dolo, Rollin, and Sean to the square of shame, Tyler walking to it is told not to as Lamar knew he was just trying to help. Lamar forces all five of them to explain how the truck ended up in the state that it was, and figures out how they let the truck's battery go dead on it. Tyler grabs the truck's radio for help, Lamar tells him not to as he could try to drive the truck home himself. Lapis comes up with the idea of bringing the truck down, if someone would go to the back of the trailer to help Lamar back the truck out of the hill. Levi asks Lamar if he would want to burn the table or the paintings, Lamar replies neither as he wants to get everything to his grandmother's house intact. David finds kerosene lamps to use for warmth, but Lamar tells him not to as he wants to preserve them for his grandmother.

The gang then begin to back out with Levi at the back of the trailer helping him keep in line while David keeps watch of the cargo in the trailer. Tyler is in the cockpit who eventually helps Lamar steer forward once they make it down a distance. Everyone cheers and Levi and David come back to the truck to get back in after being in the freezing cold for so long. The gang then heads out and gets back on the interstate to get the rest of the cargo down to Lamar's grandmother's house with everything intact. While on the road, Levi keeps asking Lamar if he has his air brakes released every minute or two, which infuriates Lamar as he tries to drive and keep focus on the road. After the fifth question, Lamar pulls over losing his patience and yells at Levi to ask the same question again and see what would happen. Levi becomes scared and begs that he'll stop. Lamar drives back on the road and finishes what he needs to do.

Eventually, Lamar pulls up to a nearby truck stop with an IHOP and Applebee's combo annexed into it. The gang go in there and pick out their meal, all of them enjoy it. After eating, they use the bathroom and they proceed back to the truck to rest.
