Bobby Austin is a young man in his 20s to early 30s, fresh-faced and relatively new to the trucking world. He’s eager, somewhat naive, and tends to act before fully thinking things through. There's a nervous energy about him, as he’s not as hardened by life as someone like Frank. Bobby often tries to play it cool, but his inexperience and anxiety show through, especially when he’s caught in dangerous or supernatural situations. Beneath his initial friendliness and youthful bravado, Bobby hides a growing sense of fear and desperation, which slowly bubbles to the surface as his true circumstances are revealed.

At his core, Bobby is a good-hearted guy who is in over his head, caught between trying to escape his own mistakes and confronting forces beyond his understanding. He oscillates between nervous optimism and bursts of anger or fear as the pressure on him increases.
