    I am interested in trucking movies also. The other day I went up the Grapvine to the Flying J where they shot most of the truck stop scenes for the movie Trucker. I got some video along the way.

    Trucker is another recent one. It start Michelle Monaghan (yum yum!) as a female trucker O/O who suddenly has to take care of her estranged son. The movie mostly focuses on the relationship between the two, but was fairly accurate in its representation of the trucking lifestyle. Michelle actually had to learn to drive the truck for the movie too, which I thought was pretty cool. Not a great movie, but still worth a watch if you have a few spare minutes.

    I'm further "out of the loop" than I thought,as until today I had no idea who Michelle Monaghan was/is.:biggrin_2556: That would be a new movie for me though. Thanx. :)

    Hehe no problem, always like to share the good lookin ladies. ;)

    Just watched another on Netflix called Bigrig, it's a documentary about trucking in the US. Not so much on the regulations, but the lifestyle and issues with it, it shows alot about fuel prices and how necessary trucking is in our country. Good movie for those who aren't familiar with trucking.
