Background

Matchstick works at Red River Shipping Company in Tucson, Arizona.

During the events of White Line Fever (1975) played by Neil Summers

Carrol Jo drives to the Red River Shipping Company to get his first load. Matchstick and Clem walk up to him and Matchstick asks him if the truck is his. As Carrol Jo's load is being put in his trailer, Clem and Matchstick bring a box of cigarettes and a slot machine. After he refuses to carry the illegal products, Carrol Jo returns to his truck to find his trailer covered in cow manure. He punches Clem when he threatens him as Matchstick, Birdie and Red watch. As Carrol Jo is driving, he is pulled over by a Deputy. The Deputy handcuffs him to his semi and then drives off. A car drives up with Matchstick, another man and Clem and they beat up Carrol Jo and throw him in the back of his trailer.

The Deputy pulls over Birdie and Red and then Clem and Matchstick arrive and as they open the trailer door, Carrol Jo and Jamie jump out and beat them up and the Deputy runs away when Pops points a shotgun at him. Duane is driving with Lucy when he is forced to pull over by three semis. He is then killed when Clem and Matchstick throw him in the middle of the road and he is hit by a semi. After Pops is murdered, Carnell goes to Buck's office and he and the other truckers beat him and Buck's men up.
