Trucker's Woman is a weak, tepid stab at some redneck exploitation glory, and though it predates the mainstream explosion of good old boy truck-driving films by several years, it was already well-worn territory at southern drive-ins when this production was released. Low budgets and plot predictability don't automatically preclude a film from being entertaining, but Trucker's Woman is a dull, slow-moving vehicle with poorly staged action scenes and no personality. Michael Hawkins is awfully long in the tooth to portray a college student and his partner, doomed comic Doodles Weaver, doesn't have much of anything to do. The soundtrack features some down-home country music, but none of the characters appear to hail from the South; most would be more at home in Brooklyn. Unless one is easily thrilled by any and all examples of redneck drive-in cinema, Trucker's Woman is best left in obscurity.
