Part 3 The Road
I've often questioned the significance of the diseal truck and have come up with a conclusion. I believe that maybe the diseal truck is a symbol for the easy way out. In context we are told that those in the truck are "bad guys" which makes me think that these bad guys are also bad because they have no knowledge or have had no true adversity after the apocalypse, they have simply took the easy way. On the other hand the father and son only have a cart which is nothing in comparison to the truck. I think the whole comparison means that even though the father and son have so little they are better people for the path that they have chosen. They have chosen to go through hardship but live a life in which they have no regrets for what they have done because they live an honest life.

I am also seeing your statement Arlene from a different point of view. I actually see the diesel truck as an adversity these people are overcoming. What they choose to do with the "power" they have is another thing. They could have helped others but instead, once they overcame the transportation issue they chose to hurt others.
