There are many really great shows out there which include trucks and truck drivers. A lot of them are realistic and others tend to be more science fiction, but they do manage to hold the attention of the viewer. Those who work in the trucking industry tend to be able to pick out the inconsistencies inside the sounds of the trucks and what they're able to do, but the rest of us are entertained by their power and their presence.
The movie Convoy starring Kris Kristofferson was launched in 1978, and it is still an increasingly popular movie today. It has been digitally re-mastered and released inside a DVD format as well. The film tells the story about some drivers who get into trouble with the law because the Sheriff doesn't like truck drivers coming through his town. The truck drivers decide to fight back as opposed to being intimidated by the Sheriff.
The movie portrays the powerful amounts of truck drivers when they band together for a central cause. As a result of their efforts, the us government steps in and takes notice from the ill treatment of truck drivers and steps are taken up make positive changes.
Stephen King has been known for his creative stories, then one in particular has the semi trucks running the show at least. The show is called Maximum Overdrive and it tells the story of a comet that triggers the machines to come to life and proceed their own. A group of individuals are terrorized with the trucks at a local truck stop. The film was published in the 1980's.
The cartoon Transformers was extremely popular in the early 1980's, and it has found a renewed life recently. A complete length movie of the cartoon premiered in 2007 with a sequel going to be out in late 2008. The leader in the good guys is Optimus Prime, a very large semi truck which is able to transform into a robot. He or she is powerful yet his is very wise and tries to resolve conflicts with his mind rather than his strength.
In the Disney Pixar animated cartoon called Cars, various semi trucks receive personalities. They portray the hard work of semi trucks while driving very one. My favorite scene reaches night when all of the trucks are lined up at the truck stop sleeping. Some of them are even snoring after a hard day of work.
A fresh series on the History Channel called Ice Road Truckers is extremely interesting to watch. It documents the events of truckers on the icy roads in Canada who work to safely transport equipment and materials from the diamond mines. This is considered to be the most dangerous jobs in the trucking industry due to the heavy loads and the inclement weather.
This program takes a close look at the trials and tribulations these truck drivers face to get the job done. It also shows viewers the dedication a large number of truck drivers have due to the love for driving. They work hard to offer what they are hauling safely and also on time. Maybe this type of show will earn truckers the recognition they deserve rather than being classified as road hogs and lazy people who sit behind the steering wheel all day.
