As the Earth crosses the tail of a comet, previously inanimate machines suddenly spring to life. Chaos sets in as machines of all kinds begin attacking humans. At the Dixie Boy Truck Stop in Wilmington, North Carolina, a small group of people hold up inside and do their best to plan their survival as the rabid machines swarm outside. This is the gist of 1986's horror comedy, Maximum Overdrive, which was set in and around the Dixie Boy Truck Stop and based on King's 1973 short story, Trucks.

"When we get to that truck stop, everything will be alright."

The Happy Toyz Green Goblin Truck from the movie Maximum Overdrive.

We got everything you need: food, fuel and military grade weapons! Just come on by the Dixie Boy Truck Stop! We can even take care of those pesky rigs that just ain't acting right... I grew up near Wilmington, NC, the filming location for "Maximum Overdrive" and have always been a fan of this movie, so it made sense to do a shirt in tribute to this movie and also as kind of a tribute to our local film industry.

Jerusalem's Lot, Maine (often shortened to 'Salem's Lot or just the Lot) is a fictional town and a part of writer Stephen King's fictional Maine topography. 'Salem's Lot has served as the setting for a number of his novels, novellas, and short stories. It first appeared in King's 1975 novel 'Salem's Lot, and has reappeared as late as his 2019 novel The Institute (see list below). The town is described as being located in Cumberland County, between (or including parts of) the towns of Falmouth, Windham, and Cumberland, near the southern part of the state about 10 miles north of Portland. A map on King's official website, though, places 'Salem's Lot considerably further north, approximately in Northwest Piscataquis.

Located just west of Texarkana, Texas right off of Interstate 30, Lone Star Truck Stop has been open around the clock since opening its doors in 1964. Whether you need a bite to eat, to tank up on diesel, or a place to grab a shower and overnight, just head for the Lone Star where the lights are always on and the coffee is always hot.

It’s the logo Southern Californians can’t escape - a cartoon caricatures of three guys named Mark, Dan, and Wayne and the words “Western Truck Exchange,” placed on thousands of truck mudflaps in a city so dry that mudflaps are essentially unnecessary. Founded in 1922, the company's 'so bad it's good' logo was put into use back in 1982 and has been on the road ever since.

Maximum Overdrive is a 1986 American comedy horror film written and directed by S.King. The screenplay was inspired by and loosely based on King's short story "Trucks", which was included in the author's first collection of short stories, Night Shift, and follows the events after all machines (including cars, trucks, radios, drones, arcades, vending machines, etc.) go sentient when Earth crosses the tail of a comet, initiating a world-wide killing spree. The best gift for the horror truck movie fans, old horror movies, terror, zombies, the undead, vampires, werewolves, demon possessed, darkness and gothic. Best gift for yourself, gothic fans, horror lovers, writers, geeks, gamers, freaks, friends, family, mom, dad, daughter, son, sister, br

The naming of Deno’s 6 & 85 truck stop undoubtedly referred to the old two-lane highways this truck stop once served when it was built in 1947, which made it the oldest truck stop in the state. Located in Commerce, Colorado, just outside of Denver, the 6 & 85 wasn't a modern truck stop by any means and rather very old school. There weren't banks of diesel fuel pumps or even a mechanic on site - just a diner-style restaurant and separate bar surrounded by plenty of truck parking. Whether truckers were stopping off to grab a bite before hitting the road again or going to tie one on in the bar before sleeping it off in their rig, Deno’s was a go-to spot for truck drivers for decades, remaining popular right up until their closure in 2017.

Unlike the 1970s CB craze which fueled movies like Smokey and the Bandit, and countless CB-themed songs – which in turn saw the CB phenomenon positively explode – today’s CB culture breeds a more mature mode of communicating. In fact, CB communications are alive and well and most likely living in your neighborhood as people are increasingly looking to CB communications. I’m not sure that state troopers will be returning to Citizen’s Band radio any time soon, but just in case, trust no one.

Its a gas!

In 1936, Dick Cantlay and Joe Tanzola's trucking company purchased Western Truck Lines which allowed them to move into dry freight and then 20 years later, the purchase of Gillette Motor Freight had them changing names to Western Gillette Motor Freight and reaching all the way to Chicago and serving 1,400 cities in between. By the ’70s, the company had over 2,000 employees operating out of 52 company terminals in 15 States and a fleet of over 1,000 trucks. Cash flow problems started to rear their heads and in 1976 the company was sold to Roadway, marking the untimely end of Western Gillette Motor Freight.

If you were a trucker who running Interstate 35 through Minnesota between 1968 and 1993, odds are that you stopped at Country Driver's Truck Stop in Burnsville at least once. Located near I-35 and Highway 13 Country Driver's was a true mom and pop truck stop that hung on as long as they could until succumbing to completion from the big chains and their mega travel centers :(
