InCars, when Lightning McQueen wakes up in the middle of the highway after falling out of Mack's trailer, Lightning attempts to find Mack, and notices a truck turning on one of the exits. Lightning, believing this truck to be Mack, starts racing toward the hauler. After nearly being hit by a freight train, McQueen approaches the truck, only to discover that it's actually Jerry. The Peterbilt scolds Lightning for mistaking him for a Mack truck and insults him, and grumpily drives off.
Trivia[]
- Jerry is Joe Ranft's final speaking part forPixar before his death, sinceRed does not have any dialogue in the film except for crying noises.
- The designs on his trailer were designed byJohn Lasseter's son.
- InHeavy Metal Mater, his Recycled Batteries hat has a white background.
- In a early deleted scene, he doesn't scold McQueen for mistaking him as a Mack truck; he only tells him to turn his lights on. As a result, he wasn't a Peterbilt 352 during that time since the movie was still in development.
- Also, inCars 3, there would be a similar scene. When McQueen finds out Brick Yardley's firing, he tries to tellBobby Swift what's happening, only to find out that it's a next-generation racer named Daniel Swervez. McQueen tells the next-gen racer that he's not Bobby and Danny replies in a more kindhearted tone, "Name's Danny, bro."
