Hank, a trucker, turns out new hire Joe on a long haul to the West Coast. The men masturbate together while on the road and participate in an all-male orgy at a truckers' bunkhouse in Los Angeles. The film features several trucking related double-entendres such as "wide load", "heavy load" and "men at work."[2]

[edit] Behind the scenes
- Richard Locke is the only actor to appear in all three "Working Man Trilogy" films.
- The original film included a "piss scene" not included in DVD releases as the result of distribution editing over the years, in which Richard Locke and Jack Wrangler were seen urinating on an unknown man, followed by Richard Locke and Steve Boyd urinating on Jack Wrangler.
- "Working Man Trilogy" was originally called "Kansas City Trilogy".
[edit] Awards
- Director Joe Gage became a 2001 GayVN Video Awards Hall of Fame inductee, largely because of the significance of the "Working Man" trilogy. James McCourt described Gage as "the Douglas Sirk of queer porn."[3]
- In 2006, Adult Video News named "Working Man Trilogy" to the top ten most innovative, influential, and hottest gay movies of all time.
