Corrected entry: At his interview, Tom is told that the drivers have to maintain their own trucks at night. So why does the company employ Ed the mechanic?
Hell Drivers (1957)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Cy Endfield
Starring: Herbert Lom, Patrick McGoohan, Stanley Baker, Peggy Cummins
Continuity mistake: When Tom accepts the job as a truck driver, he is given the logbook to the truck he is going to drive - registration number 321EMY. At the quarry, when he reverses towards Red's truck, the reg number has changed to 845DMX, the same as Red's truck. But when Tom gets back on the road his truck has changed back to 321EMY.
Trivia: When we first see Red in the cafe as he walks over to the table, if you look on the cafe wall there is a poster for a play, "I Have Been Here Before" at the Royalty Theatre starring Wilfrid Lawson. Lawson appears in Hell Drivers as Ed.

Correction: Maintenance and repairing are two different things. Maintaining a truck is fuelling, checking fluids, adding if necessary, keeping relatively clean, checking and setting brakes, etc. Maintenance does not include overhauling an engine or transmission, or diagnosing and repairing mechanical problems. That's Ed the mechanic's job.
