Movie Poster, "Convoy," 1978

01

Artifact Overview

Traveling the open highway, talking on citizens' band (CB) radios, encounters with corrupt police officials, and exploding cargoes punctuate the 1978 movie Convoy. The reality of truck driving, however, is far less exciting. Truck driving remains demanding, sometimes dangerous, and often boring work.
