Mr. Corson and his daughter Jenny run a small towing truck company in an Arizonan town. When another company resorts to violence against their trucks and even threaten them physically to force them out of business, the A-team is recruited, to Murdocks delight: a chance to adopt the chivalric code of the 'knights of the road', while Jenny is the first female in ages to seem unresponsive to Face's charm- that can't be waning, or is it? Since the Corson firm even needs the contract for towing US cars over the Mexican border just to stay viable, the thugs must be after something else- wiring their cars proves it's something they smuggle over the border, so Murdock plays live freight to the Mexican villa of a certain Zuniga, but the team looses contact... - IMDB

Murdock: We are like priests, saving souls on the road. Like highway rangers. No, no we're not rangers, we're knights. Knights of the road! When you’re stranded on the road, who do you call? Yes, the tow truck drivers. That's you and me, BA. Our souls, they linger in each and every car.
Murdock: Be gone! The knights of the road are not afraid. Be gone, before I raise my lance and make of thee a poor and hideous fool, who's tail will ride twixt tooth and tongue and bury there until you die!
B.A.: You got the clips on tight, crazy man? Murdock: I am shocked. I am shocked that you would for even a moment consider casting any doubts on the ability of the knight of the road. B.A.: I'm gonna cast my fist on your lips if you don't answer the question. Murdock: Oh, they are tight, sir. I wrapped the monster jaws around the unsuspecting wire, and I pressed, and I pressed until they became one with each other. In fact, it was such a beautiful moment, I may need a cigarette.
Face: I don't always do this kind of stuff for the money. I mean, sure, running the risk of having your skull beaten in with a crow bar, that's fun in itself. But, well, helping people. You know, that's also a thing with me.
