Being a trucker wasn't so random then. I believe U.S. culture was having a bit of a love-affair with truckers at the time - the open road, getting into scrapes with local law enforcement, etc. There were movies like "Smokey and the Bandit", "Convoy" and the tv show "BJ and the Bear." Truckers were seen as modern cowboys in a way, as the U.S. has always venerated rugged individualism.
