"18 Wheels of Justice" Rolls into Second Season on TNN

Lucky Vanous, Lisa Thornhill, G. Gordon Liddy Return in Shocking Premiere;
Bobby Hosea Joins Cast; Billy Dee Williams Back in Recurring Role

KIRKLAND, Wash., December 21, 2000 - "18 Wheels of Justice", the action
drama series starring Lucky Vanous, opens its second season with an
incredible twist that unites Chance Bowman and his nemesis, Jacob Calder (G.
Gordon Liddy), in a very strange union, on Wednesday, Jan. 3, 2001 (10-11
p.m., ET/PT) on TNN: The National Network.

When Chance is faced with the shocking revelation that Calder was not
responsible for his wife's death, the two foes find themselves dependent
upon each other, Chance for information and Calder for his life.

Lisa Thornhill returns to the series as Cie, no longer trying to "control"
Chance, but becoming his active partner, as the two follow assignments for
the Justice Department. G. Gordon Liddy, portraying crime boss, Jacob
Calder, remains a dark presence in the series.  Now serving a life sentence
in a high-tech prison, Calder increases his sense of menace even as he is
kept in solitary confinement.

Bobby Hosea joins the series as Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Snow,
who gives Chance and Cie their assignments and covers for them in the
bureaucratic jungle known as Washington.  Billy Dee Williams returns later
in the series in a recurring role.

Also joining the series this season is a new, enhanced version of the
state-of-the-art, Kenworth T2000 High-Tech Truck. This updated co-star has
the same high-tech features as its predecessor, with such additions as a
fingerprint identification system that recognizes individual drivers, a
navigational system that talks the driver to the destination, as well as
night vision and driver-drowsiness monitoring systems.

The edgy second season of "18 Wheels of Justice" opens with Chance achieving
his goal, the arrest of Calder, only to discover Calder wasn't responsible
for the deaths of his wife and daughter. Assistant Attorney General Jonathon
Snow offers Chance the opportunity to return to active duty as a Federal
Agent, maintaining his cover. Cie becomes more actively involved in covert
operations, and more closely bonded to Chance. Chance is now on a mission to
discover who really killed his family, while solving separate and different
cases along the way.

18 Wheels of Justice is produced by KingWorld Productions, Inc. and Stu
Segall Productions, in association with Fireworks Entertainment, Park Avenue
Productions and IN-Motion AG. David H. Balkan, whose credits include
"Pensacola: Wings of Gold," "The Sentinel" and "Hunter," joins Stu Segall as
executive producers for the series' second season, which is filmed in San
Diego. Caterpillar, Eaton and Bridgestone are participating Kenworth
suppliers in the show.

Kenworth Truck Company, a division of PACCAR Inc, is a leading manufacturer
of heavy and medium duty trucks.
