Wilson has been using Volvo trucks since the late '70s: Quote Several Volvo milestones highlight the company’s longstanding relationship with Wilson Trucking. In the late 1970s, Wilson Trucking purchased the first Volvo F86 sold in the United States. In late 1981, Volvo established a U.S. production presence, and in 1982, Wilson purchased the first Volvo – an F7 – to roll off the line at the New River Valley plant in Dublin [Virginia]. Wilson again purchased a “first” in 1996 when Volvo introduced the VN model. Link to "www.ccjdigital.com" The very first Volvo truck built in the US, a 1982 F7 purchased by Wilson Trucking (fleet number 535) and now owned by Volvo Trucks North America Link to "www.volvotrucks.us" Can't say for sure the one on the movie is that same truck (fleet number does begin with '5'), but it could be!
