Roy's death and Rusty's breath.
Episodes with Roy Garber are awesome, after that it's pretty much more of the same. And adding more neophytes with less than average experience is a repetitive. One Jared is enough!

This reboot isnt good or interesting at all. The white couple argues all the time, the black couple is rude and
has a bad attitude, the older guy is boring and the older black lady is loud and annoying. Smh, i dont like the brokers either.. sorry guys, but this is a FAIL... i even miss jarrod! And he was the biggest moron alive😂
First off, it's a fun show and a little fascinating watching how some of these strange loads get from point A to point B.
I think that the show does display real transporters, their real equipment, real loads, and real shipping. I also think that nearly all the drama is forced, fake, and completely inserted into the show to make it more interesting. I think that the personalities of the characters are vastly exaggerated. Roy isn't a complete jerk, Jarrod isn't a naive clutz, and Jennifer isn't a damsel in distress. That's all made up. Getting permits to haul heavy equipment across state lines, renting equipment, coordinating pickups and dropoffs, and tying down loads however is not.
Ultimately it's fun to watch, but if you've seen one episode you've seen them all.
At the end of one episode, one driver finished in San Francisco, another driver in Phoenix, one in Dallas TX, one in Charlotte NC.
The next morning they bid for new shipments. One of the shipments was scheduled to be hauled from Austin TX to Fresno CA. Now here is what puzzles me: The drivers sitting in San Francisco and Charlotte have to drive thousands of miles just to pick up the shipment in Austin TX, while the driver sitting in Dallas, can be there within a few hours. Would that not influence their bidding? It's 1800 Miles from San Francisco to Austin. Does that cost not have to be factored into the bid? I guess not, because all drivers act as if they are sitting in Austin, yet we know they are not.
Makes the show appear to be fake, yet I believe the loading/unloading/driving is real. Still very entertaining, just not realistic.
