The Chrysler C-300 was from the 1955 model year.

The Citizen's Band or CB didn't exist until September 11, 1958. However the whole craze of "handles" instead of FCC issued license numbers didn't hit until the 1970's.

I don't know of a highway called the M-1 in the USA. Maybe there was back then. I keep thinking of the M-1 in England. I suggest going through a highway map from that period and picking something that actually existed. For your convenience, I have put a link to one below.

I suggest updating the time frame to the early 1970's (correct for CB's), changing the vehicle to something period like Dodge Chargers, Chevrolet Corvettes or Ford Mustangs and double checking that road.

The guy is a trucker. He's used to long haul driving. He's very likely gone without adequate sleep for WAY too long. His first reaction very well may be alarm at thinking that he did dream behind the wheel. It's an alarming phenomena and I've done it. But the creep factor can then be increased by a second and more definite sighting, possibly with a reaction or an approach to the vehicle by the creature or by seeing external evidence.

If I saw something that resembled a werewolf and I actually believed it to be real, I would do some sort of security check in my vehicle as I drove. Are my doors locked? Is that tire iron handy?
