screenplay movies featuring trucking or truck drivers/truckers

[bleuet]

happy saturday folks!

i am seeking recommendations for films involving truck drivers and/or the trucking industry from all over the world, not specific to a particular country. i prefer horror, comedy, and action genres. however, i'm happy to consider drama as well!

i'll list some of the ones i've already seen and loved below:

• Hell Drivers (1957)
• The Ice Road (2021)
• Maximum Overdrive (1986)
• Joy Ride (2001)

i would also love to learn where folks would go to find copies of the screenplays for these films?
