That's why I've got eighteen wheels, my man. I'll patch 'em later.
―Jolly to Ryker after his truck is shot up.[src]

Tom Jolly, simply known as Jolly, is a character featured in The Walking Dead: Road to Survival.

Pre-Apocalypse[]

Location Unknown[]

Nothing is known about Tom's life prior to or as the outbreak began.

Post-Apocalypse[]

"Grocery Run"[]

At some point after Oceanside began to expand and gain new members, a group from there--a group totaling six including Viktor, Pious, Hoang, Siddiq, Matt, and Lindsay--scavenge areas outside of Washington, D.C.. One such area was a truck stop. As Matt and Hoang take out several walkers, Tom Jolly appears by a fence near the truck wash. He offers to give the group a ride back to Oceanside in his personal truck after their trip is over, on account of their previous truck being destroyed by a hostile group at a shipping yard. When questioned by Hoang about where he gets fuel from, he details a trick he uses involving solvents and waste motor oil.

Jolly proposes a plan to get the Oceanside group a truck of their own by using his solvent trick on the waste tank in a nearby garage to provide the fuel. When the group arrive they find walkers inside, with Jolly remarking that the garage was empty the last time he came through. Siddiq eventually concludes that these walkers were strays from the mob that attacked them on the road. As the Oceanside group hold off the undead, Jolly collects the needed solvents and gains access to the underground waste tank. He then unhitches the trailer from his truck and proposes the group tow an old truck from the truck stop to the garage to fuel up. He takes Viktor and Pious with him in the cab, while the other four walk.

Back at the truck stop, Jolly and the two in the truck decide to grab an older car to conserve the makeshift fuel. When Siddiq and the other three survivors arrive, they had accidentally brought the hostile group from earlier towards them. The hostile group attempt to make off with Jolly's truck, angering him. After the hostile group is fought off and they retreat, Jolly and the Oceanside group successfully tow the truck back to the garage. The location has a renewed supply of walkers due to the hostile group from earlier opening the bay doors, which the group help dispatch. Jolly gives the car a tune-up as well as some fuel, but says it will take him all night to get it fully done. The group stay by the bay doors and do a night watch, with Lindsay going first. By the next day, Jolly has the truck fueled up and ready to go. He and the Oceanside group return to the warehouse and load up both Jolly's truck and their rebuilt truck and eventually return to Oceanside with all of the food they had found.

"Brewing War"[]

Long after his introduction to the Oceanside group, and after the return of the Saviors under Raulito, Jolly had discovered a distribution center. A joint group of people from Oceanside, Hilltop, and Alexandria meet there to get supplies. Jolly helps Maggie, Garrett, Ryker, Lindsay, and Matt clear out some undead lurking in the center. Saviors attack the distribution center, injuring Matt. Jolly and Ryker get behind the former's truck and open fire on the Saviors. Ryker notes that several of Jolly's truck tires have been shot, but Jolly remarks that he has eighteen wheels on his truck and will be fine in the long run. After warding off the Saviors, Jolly takes Maggie, Lindsay, and an injured Matt back to Hilltop while Ryker and Garrett warn Alexandria of an impending attack.

After a longer than expected trip, the Hilltop bound group arrive. Jolly unloads his truck while Maggie gets Matt and Lindsay inside. Earl arrives as backup to help fight the Saviors. While the fighting continues, Jolly and Lindsay talk about Matt, to which she says that Dr. Carson is looking after him. As Earl heads off into the treeline to ambush the Saviors, one of them attempts to throw a molotov into the back of Jolly's truck. Earl's ambush succeeds in scaring the saviors off, preventing the destruction of Jolly's truck.
