What begins as a scary almost-accident turns into a road-trip adventure, and then a lasting friendship between a truck driver and the moose who joins him for a ride.

Moose has never left his home in the Maine woods, but when he meets Rus, a long-haul trucker on his way to Florida, the two team up and hit the road together. Moose helps Rus navigate, eats his first slice of pizza, and settles into a bunk bed in the truck’s cab after each day's work. What new discoveries await these unlikely friends?
