Maximum Overdrive. The day the comet passed through earth's atmosphere and made all the machines go crazy. The truck in question was most definately not a toy. The movie is based on a short story by Stephen King called Trucks. This story was included in the book Night Shift.
There is a TV movie called Trucks also based on this story. I believe it stars Timothy Busfield.
And yes, Mr. King did direct this movie. It originally received an NC-17 rating for violence and gore, but ended up with an R rating after some editing.

The movie is "Maximum Overdrive" - based on a short story by Stephen King in which the vehicles somehow come to life (and they're not happy).
It's sort of like Steven Spielberg's film, "Duel" ...only the heroes are stuck at a truck-stop diner instead of running across the desert roads.

Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive. Not written as Richard Bachman.
About the Movie: For three days in 1986, the earth passed through the tail of a mysterious comet. During that time, machines on earth suddenly come to life and terrorize their human creators. A small group of people in a truck stop, surrounded by "alive" semi-trailers, set out to stop the machines before the machines stop them.

Maximum Overdrive. It was based on the Stephen King short "trucks," and directed by King himself.
