Doug Pray's trucker doc. I'm a pretty big fan of Pray's work, so perhaps I am biased, but I liked this one quite a bit. It's got some great hybrid redneck/hip hop trucker songs and it's edited and photographed really well. This movie is kind of like if you went out to a truck stop and hitched a ride across the country. You meet these drivers, hear what's on their mind, see the scenery, then leave them and meet someone new. It's actually maybe surprisingly not funny. There's no highway hijinx or crazy drivers doing meth off the dashboard or anything... instead you get glimpses into real peoples' lives. Done quite well.
