She tells Phineas and Ferb that she's glad that they didn't build anything during the trip, but they didn't pay attention because they were zoning out after Candace said that they didn't get to go to a truck stop diner. As Candace decides to sleep in a couch, Phineas and Ferb know what they are going to do and sees Perry sleeping but actually an inflatable decoy as the real Perry slips through a secret entrance and get a briefing from Major Monogram about Doofenshmirtz driving a rig not far from his location also to investigate him and envy Perry for going on a trip. Perry went under the RV and uses his laptop to hack the GPS to reroute the RV.

While Doofenshmirtz is talking to Lawrence, Perry jump across to Doofenshmirtz truck and after seeing Perry he cuts him off. After talking to Doofenshmirtz, Linda tells Lawrence that he score some big man points.

Doofenshmirtz tells Perry not to attack him since his driving and press a button to tie Perry up with a seat-belt. He explains to Perry that all his inator need a formula that scientist called "Boom Juice" for the self-destruct sequence. He manages to find a clip price and has to drive it back home, and decide to talk to perry about truck driving tale.

Lawrence and Linda listening the Truck Driver Hits in the radio about some truck driver saving Christmas, and sees Candace sleep-walking that Linda sends her back to the couch and continuing to listen the radio about a group of trucker taking down some corrupt cops. At the same time, Phineas and Ferb receive a trip delivery for the diner food and wonders they are young to orders this and Phineas stated that the age in not an issue.

Doofenshmirtz still talking about truck driving tale that Perry escapes by getting a nickel from the seat to toss to a side-mirror to reflect the sun and uses a magnifying glass to burn the seat-belt and tackles Doofenshmirtz to take control of the rig but Doofenshmirtz fights back and use his hitch a ride-inator to connect the Flynn-Fletcher RV so that they drive his rig for him. After they each other, Lawrence notices Doofenshmirtz as a pharmacist that his putting his face in the windshield that commented that American are like big children.

As Candace wakes up and sees her brother aren't seen in the RV and notices the music, she goes to the roof of the RV and enters in the "No Stop Truck Stop". While Candace nagging Phineas and Ferb about doing this doing last days in their trip, she inadvertently acted as a waitress since she heard some customers with their orders and takes it to help serve them.

Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz and Perry are fighting at the top of the rig and uses a lid to throw at Perry but it bounce to a sign and hits him and fells off that it humps his rig that affect the RV that shook the laptop to disconnect the GPS that tells Lawrence to turn left to a corn field thinking it a shortcut. Perry notices that they are heading toward Cactus Gorge that jumps toward the hitch a ride-inator and turn his fedora into a buzz-saw to cut the inator to separate from Doofenshmirtz's rig as it heads toward the gorge that Doofenshmirtz also jump out from it. Perry quickly fix the GPS and the laptop to reroute the RV to prevent from plunging to Cactus Gorge. Doofenshmirtz runs toward his rig and sees it fells in Cactus Gorge and explodes.

The shock-wave of the explosion that causes Candace fell at the escalator to the roof of the RV and fell to the seat that goes up and quickly grabs Phineas and Ferb talking to customers about truckers banned together to save Christmas. Linda goes to check on the kids and sees them sitting together, and Candace tells her to go to roof to see the diner that Phineas and Ferb built. At the same time, a Farmer and his wife at the overpass talks about their dreams that the wife wants to own a truck stop diner, that the Flynn-Fletcher RV passes the overpass that the diner stops and was right behind them. Linda and Candace goes to the roof of the RV and sees nothing in it that Lawrence joins them and they gave him a stare that he realize that no one is driving the RV.

Allusions

 * The culture of truck drivers and CB radio was a popular icon in pop culture in the mid-1970s, perhaps most popularized by the 1975 novelty single Convoy by "C.W. McCall" (Bill Fries).
 * A song on the 8-track had the lyrics "...and one little orphan boy looked up at me with tears in his eyes said, 'Mr. trucker man, you done saved Christmas.'" This is similar in style to the 1976 Red Sovine song Teddy Bear in which a trucker, via CB radio, befriends a paraplegic boy whose trucker father had recently died.
 * Perry attaches himself to the window of Doofenshmirtz's truck with suction cups, mimicking the popular "Stuck on You" Garfield suction-cup plush dolls.
 * The truck fight between Perry and Dr. Doofenshmirtz parodies a scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark. A parody of the famous Indiana Jones theme is also heard during the scene.
