Trivia

The bridge where the FBI pull the truck over is the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, one of the few "center span" drawbridges left in the USA. The bridge opens by the entire center section being lifted straight up in the air between the two towers where, these days, it often gets stuck. See more »

Goofs

Crewes makes a big deal about loving Caterpillar engines, yet the sound of the truck is clearly a Detroit Diesel. See more »

Great movie
13 February 2006 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Overall this movie was very good in my opinion. The only thing I saw wrong with it was the scene where the camero went over the hill and had a damaged front fender then when the scene cuts back to it when it lands it has a perfectly fine front end. Other than that I thought the movie was good. I watch it every day but that also is because I like the thought of a movie on Tractor Trailers. Overall good move, good acting, Bible basing quotes not my favorite but a good movie. I give it 10 stars.

P.S. That quote on there: "One fart Wess and you're walking" is not by Jack Crews, but by Earl (Randy Travis) when driving the damaged camero up the hill.
