writing a story about a trucker in 1974

Maybe you can get a somewhat a little fiction and non fiction to your story if you WATCH these 3 movies, 1) Convoy, 2) Duel, and 3)Smokey and the Bandit(first one). These movies where made in the time era I believe your looking at.

Edit: 4) White line fever,... is another one.

 

wasn't a driver in the 70's ,but hitch hiked from NY,(not city), to Wyoming after I got back from Nam. hitched all over the US and Canada, working construction or whatever.

became a driver 10 yrs afterwards. after flunking out of college, figuring out middle management and office politics was going to get me thrown in jail. didn't play well others.lol

 

If you want input. Just go to a truckstop. Sit and the lunch counter for a couple hours. Then there will be nothing you will not know.

 

I threw an edit right after, don’t know if you went back. 4)White Line Fever, is another movie.

 

Truckers only deal in non fiction.

 

I don’t think those counter truck stories are NOT the same as back then, @x1Heavy is the closes your gonna get for that time frame and probably @starmac, seems there both from Arkansas and both been there, done that if you follow there post.
