Chen Chuan, an eighth-grade fitter and a backbone employee of Dongfanghong Machinery Factory, is denied a staff apartment when his allocation is given to Wang Qiang, a relative of the factory director. Forced to move into a dilapidated warehouse on factory grounds, he happens to take in a stranded truck driver and spots a lucrative opportunity in highway freight transport. He boldly quits his secure factory job, puts idle old lathes back to work, and opens Chuan's Truck Stop. Wang Qiang joins forces with the factory director to repeatedly cut off his supplies and deliberately open a rival shop to crush his business, only to suffer repeated failures because of their shoddy management. With outstanding craftsmanship and honest business practices, Chen Chuan establishes himself and earns drivers' trust by helping the police capture a gang of tire thieves. When the poorly managed factory eventually goes bankrupt, Chen Chuan takes over and restructures the factory grounds, finds suitable places for the veteran workers, and builds a one-stop logistics service park, while his former rivals fall into ruin.
