Perhaps one of the greatest disservices to the trucking industry outside of the old ABC’s 20/20 Killer Truck Drivers segment is how trucking has been portrayed in movies and television. People watch the iconic Smokey and the Bandit movie and its sequel and think that trucking is all about fighting the law, raising havoc, and having fun. Other productions like television’s B. J. and the Bear, show a young, good looking guy traveling around with good looking women in every stop.
