    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      According to Verneuil, he designed his film like a real western. He said that he had no cow boys, but he had thousand of horses, horsepower inside the truck engines, and these trucks are the real stars.
    • Goofs
      There are a dozen or so 1 gallon cans of Shell X-100 motor oil upstairs on a shelf in the trucking company's office. The oil would most certainly be ordered by the drum and stored in an oil bar near the grease pit. Even so, 12 gallons would not meet the fleet's oil consumption for more than a week in the hot desert conditions they are operating.
    • Quotes
      • Rocco: You know, when 260-pounds guys are speaking, 120-pounds guys are listening.
