I've got a weakness for this movie. It is the story of a firm that employs lorry drivers to deliver on a short round trip and then pays the drivers for the number of trips per day, which creates strong competition and mad driving. The plot itself is perhaps a bit like a Western: honest driver vs mad and bad driver, which a love interest thrown in. But don't ignore it, its a good watch. 1950's lorry and bus spotters will enjoy it.
