Jamie's having second thoughts about bringing his son Brandon onboard when the teenager spends his paycheck on ear piercings. Then his right hand man Kevin shows up to a wreck without the gear he needs to control traffic. When Jamie confronts him, Kevin storms off the job. Jamie's one bright spot is his brand new truck, the Rotator. But even that lets him down when he's called out to save a trailer stuck in a ditch, and only ends up destroying it after Kevin discovered it was weighed down by boxes of cadmium. Next night, little Jamie Jr. joins in as an observer for a seemingly 'easy job', only for Junior to fall asleep in the truck, while Jamie, Kevin and Brandon witnessed two more accidents in deteriorating weather and road conditions, turning it into a multi-car pileup, and Jamie ended up unnecessarily destroying the snow plow.
