★  MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW  ★
“More than the usual action-packed thriller. A foray into personal morals and issues of loyalty and commitment. Libraries should consider Frozen Freight: The Fifth Dot above and beyond the usual conspiracy thriller.”

A word from JR

Where things stand

"Some loads you don't talk about. Some roads you don't take twice."

The crew is back and the yard is coming back to life. Same crew, new equipment, and a whole lot of finding out whether they still have it.

Colonel Merritt has another job. Two aircraft, across the country. Four trucks. Two thousand loaded miles. Sounds simple. With Merritt, it never is.

Then the black SUVs start showing up in the mirrors, and folks start asking questions nobody outside the convoy should know to ask.

The road is quiet. For now.

Written by a working trucker

Nobody else could have written this book.

JR Elrod has spent thirty years behind the wheel of oversize loads across 48 states. He runs BAR Transportation LLC out of Mount Pleasant, Texas, and knows what a truck sounds like at 4am when the world is still asleep.

When Pops Mercer talks about permits, scale houses, and classified cargo in this book, it is accurate because the man who wrote it has lived the real version of that job.
