    Duel.

    In the tanker community, it is considered to be the best training film ever made.

    Except one truck was a Kenworth dressed as a Peterbilt I believe. Original film did not include the school bus and railway track scene. They were filmed after the original film and since the "star" was gone they needed to find a replacement. So they dressed an old KW up like the original truck. I also believe the original Pete was a single screw w/tag and the KW was a true tandem.

    This is just what I read on the internet. May or may not be true lol.
