The cultural penetration of this scene has become visible when on the highway and you see a truck carrying logs and how everyone avoids being directly behind it.

maybe, but logging trucks are second only to hay trucks in rate and lethality of dropped load. It’s a really good and basic safety practice, the movie didnt come up with the idea of logging truck accidents.

I never did fully trust those hay trucks. Glad that wasn’t unjustified

That’s actually pretty smart though.

And a good thing too, those log-truck drivers need all the room they can get on icy mountain roads.

Was this scene in the trailers or something ahead of another more popular movie that year? I don’t think I’ve ever seen this movie, but the scene is still burned into my mind 20 years later.
