Movie Connections:

Followed by "Movin' On" (1974)

trucker's movie series

Two trucker's "Sonny Pruitt and Will Chandler" Played by Claude Akins and Frank Converse. The truckers drove a Kenworth tractor trailer and encountered problems with a couple of other truck drivers known as Moose and I think Tiny. Rosevelt Greer played in this also. Outstanding series was spawned from this. But I think the real movie that was the spin off for Movin' On series was "In Tandem" which starred the same actors. Hopefully this is helpful and my memory isn't failing me.
