You've got me imagining a rewrite/remake of this:

Except instead of:

it's a film following a middle-aged blogger who becomes infatuated with CB radio conversations of truckers he never has, and never will meet, leading to a comic chase after the ideal typewriter-created blog post about the joy of tuning into CB radio code slinging truckers and/or enthusiasts, finely peppered with dream-sequence encounters in an online pub whose name remains tantalizingly anonymous.

get me an 80s Testerosa and some explosions to go off in the background, and you have yourself a bonafide blockbuster from 85!
As long as John Carpenter does the effects, I want to be able to emerge as a slytherin through the CB mic and steal the truck like a cryptid from The Thing
I think Kurt Russel was a trucker in one of those, keep him away
