Truck driver John Fountain faced a tough line of work with long hauls from Alabama to states like Texas or Maryland. He rerouted one trip due to a blockade of about 100 protesting truckers on Interstate 59 in northeast Alabama and carried 44,000 pounds of tin plate to Palmetto Can Co in Hartsville South Carolina, estimating about 241 dollars earnings for the run.
