Appearance
The Westway Refrigerated Truck first appears when it was preparing to leave a truck stop after the driver came back from the workshop. After leaving the truck stop, the truck travels along a country road when it soon starts acting strange. The driver tries to control the swerving rig but soon stops and gets out to take a look. He looks under the rig and the trailer and opens the refrigerated trailer to investigate. The door of the trailer closes and the driver gets trapped in the cold trailer. A group of travelers spot the truck and think the driver has left but one of them felt suspicious. The refrigerated truck starts up and drives to a junkyard where the humans try to move an old 1954 Dodge W-200. The truck charges at the humans but only smashes the 1954 Dodge on to the side and storms through the junkyard. As the truck rounds the corner, a woman named Hope attempts to get back into her SUV but a male traveler, Thad pulls her away and the rampaging truck smashes the SUV and drives off. The truck arrives at the truck stop and almost killed a young couple who are heading inside of one of the sheds to have a good time. As the humans race to the truck stop to get away from an aggressive Ford cherry picker truck, two more trucks come to life and join in with the refrigerated truck. The humans are now held hostage by a caravan of driver-less trucks and escaping sound impossible.
At night, the trucks demanded fuel and the hostages decided to obey the trucks' orders. After refueling the trucks, the humans make their escape to the woods but the blue dump truck charges at a waiter named, Jack but gets shot and almost crashes.

Revving it's mighty diesel engine, the angry truck leaves it's refrigeration trailer and charges aggressively at Jack. Jack fires on the trucks grill and soon gets killed as the truck crashes into the diner.

The survivors rush to the helicopter as the angry truck charges at them to get a last shot of killing them. The helicopter touches down and the humans scramble to get on. The aircraft pulls up as the truck misses them and crashes into a pond. The survivors are flown to safety after their harrowing ordeal is finally over.
