The Story of an American Trucker

Dispatch Me Home is a narrative of the North American truck driver embodied in the figure of Sam “The Man” Morris, an independent truck driver making his way across the US one last time. His truck, Chloe, is his closest companion. Sam has decided to hang up his keys and put Chloe up on blocks at his sister’s place in Washington State because it’s time, he figures, “to leave the good dispatches for the younger drivers.”

Sam is from the old school and believes strongly in hard work and fair play. He wouldn’t hesitate to assist a motorist in need of help along the roadside - courtesies that have been lost in the modern world of just-in-time freight and computer-controlled dispatches.

In short, Sam is a man who embodies all the best qualities of the trucking profession. He is someone we can all relate to, someone who’s made a decision in life and done it his way, setting the bar for other truck drivers whether he knows it or not.

On his final journey homeward, Sam encounters old friends and drivers, reminisces with them, and even gives advice to a young driver still wet behind the ears.

Dispatch Me Home will transport the audience on a wonderful journey across the United States with a great American trucker, Sam “The Man,” as he recalls a better place and time in America when friendships meant everything and a firm handshake closed the deal.
