Snowman.

And as most people should know East Bound and Down was performed by the late Jerry Reed. Drove the truck and sang the song.

“Rolling down to Dallas
My wheels provide my palace
I’m off to New Orleans
Who all knows where?
Places few and ladies too
I’m BJ McKay and this is my best friend Bear”

Great 70’s theme song!

Was going to mention Duel if not mentioned. You can watch the whole movie on youtube if you want. For 1971, low budget, and 3 weeks of shooting, it's really well done. Dennis Weaver plays a great panicked driver.

Speaking of truckers,is anyone familiar with Wages of Fear ?

Very good and influential French film about two trucks transporting nitroglycerin through the South American jungle.Some very tense scenes.

ETA: NVM I see it's been mentioned.

Come on guys we can’t leave this classic out of the discussion..

It brought Stephen King and AC/DC together



Good to see someone beat me to it

Large Marge would be #2
