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: In the final chase sequence, when Tom takes number one truck, its registration number is 845DMX and it has a broken headlight. When Tom drives over a bridge the reg number has changed to 322EMY, but when he reaches the quarry the reg number is back to 845DMX and the broken headlight has been repaired.
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.
