What's the name of movie where one dad carries radioactive freight to earn money for his daughter and he will get cancer from that?

Year around 2000 maybe. I didn't see it truly, but my mom did, so I don't know who actors play there. And more details... The dad need to get money for his daughter. I don't know why. So, he decide to take a well paid job, but he doesn't know what he will transport by his truck. The freight is radioactive I think and later he will get the cancer or something similar from that. Mom said, the name is something like "Waiting for death", but it isn't.

I'll toss this out there but the freight is not radioactive and driver doesn't get cancer.

Black Dog is a 1998 film about an ex-con manipulated into transporting illegal arms. The film stars Patrick Swayze, Randy Travis, and Meat Loaf.

An ex-con takes a job driving a truck cross country. What he doesn't know is that the truck is filled with illegal weapons and now he must fight to survive and save his family.
