Deliberate mistake: When Red is shooting at Crews and Crews forces him off the road, the driver's front tire blows on Red's truck. You see it happen and see the blown tire again when he goes off-road. A few seconds later, Red drives away as if there is no problem. (00:58:05)
Deliberate mistake: In the scene where the Weigh Station crew inspects the back of the trailer and finds the dog, the guard holding the flashlight moves away at the end, after shining the light on the dog. After he moves away, and before the scene cuts to a new one, the filmmakers show one more quick scene of the dog - but the flashlight is still pointed at him. (00:40:25)
Chosen answer: It's an old trucker's myth that has been around for a long time. There's no known origin for the story, but supposedly when truckers become drowsy, they can see a demon-like black canine of some sort running along the side of the road. This legend was incorporated into the movie.
