23% voted for F.I.S.T. (1978)
21% voted for They Drive by Night (1940)
21% voted for A Woman Under the Influence (1974)
18% voted for The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988)
17% voted for The Misfits (1961)
Of course, much depends on whether people were voting for the movie overall or the concentration of truck scenes in it. One such movie that we would include near the top in both categories is Le salaire de la peur, or as it is known in English, The Wages of Fear (1953).
The stills below are from They Drive by Night (1940).

Of course, the photo of Ann Sheridan clutching George Raft doesn't actually appear in the film; by the time Raft was wearing a suit and running his own trucking outfit in the movie he'd given up sitting in a cab. The first picture does indeed appear in the film, probably taken on US 99 north of L.A. in those pre-Interstate days so long ago. Amazing how small the trucks in those days look compared to today's container-carrying behemoths!
