Never thought much of the movie.. Being a trucker and watching movies about trucking causes this reaction.

10-4. Besides, being there is half the fun. Hollywood does its best.
My favorite movie truck was the indestructible FREIGHTLINER Cabover used by the T1000 in Terminator 2. Approximately 1000 things which should have broken that truck occurred yet it just kept going.... lol. That was hard to watch. Every time they did something to it which I knew would have wrecked a very expensive piece of equipment I kept cringing mentally. )Just about everything they showed it doing would have wrecked it folks.). Trucks are big but they are only as tough as they need to be.
