Stupid from the Start

If you wanted to move a load of guns or other illegal stuff, you'd think you would want a driver with a legitimate, clean license. It was all downhill from there.

Good luck finding a legitimate licensed driver who would want to do the job you twit! That's why he did it cuz he had too! Stupid observation!

Wow, I'm sorry you were so offended, I didn't think anyone could get that attached to such a movie. There are tons of unemployed shiftless scum with good drivers licenses who would do a job like that for some extra money. It's not like being a trained NASA astronaut, it's a stupid effen licence to drive a truck which in some places is easy to get.

Ok first off I'm sorry, I was a little rude there, sorry! But I think another reason they chose him was because like I said he needed the job! He was a man who they could trust to do whatever it takes to get the job done to not lose what he had! Where as some scum licensed driver as you said would just easily back down and say *beep* it when trouble comes!

Plenty of licensed drivers will take illegal loads. Illegal cargo, over weight, whatever.

Still more likely to be an unlicensed driver to take the job transporting an illegal cache of arms than a licensed one. This is one facet of the movie that I think is reasonably realistic.
