Overview. A long-distance trucker, dressed like a sea captain, aimlessly sails the American highways in his 18 wheeler mumbling manic, southern accented non sequiturs; carnivalizing roadside stops and happenstance towns while out-weirding cops and weigh stations with his new cryptic, over-coated hitchhiker buddy.
Every line delivered in Deadhead Miles is delivered like someone baking a handmade artisanal batch of fancy macarons for the queen's birthday party if that even makes sense. Surprisingly underrated!
