Lightning insists that his carrier, a
semi truck named Mack (John Ratzenberger,
of course), drive straight through to California, which results in Mack falling asleep at the
wheel, and Lightning sliding out
of the back
of the
truck, finding himself in run - down Radiator Springs.
I'll never forget my brief time behind the
wheel of a giant International
semi truck (let alone trying to shift the 18 - speed gearbox), but the most memorable vehicle piloted during my employment?
The four
wheel drive system did not require getting out
of the
truck to engage, and in high range was «on the fly» which made driving in
semi irregular conditions much safer.
