In the simplest terms, Joe is the go-getter and Paul is literally along for the ride: Paul is not known for staying awake on their long drives in a truck they've yet to pay off.

 Slant Magazine - DVD Review: They Drive by Night
They Drive by Night is presented in 1.37:1 fl-and-white full frame and, despite some significant flaws, looks pretty good.
The "Divided Highway: The Story of They Drive by Night" featurette is hosted by Leonard Maltin and features some general background information on director Walsh, Bogart (and his impending rise to superstardom), and the 1935 Bette Davis film Bordertown, which shares many similarities with They Drive by Night.
The quintet of Raft, Bogart, Lupino, and Sheridan may be They Drive by Night's main selling point, but it's the hilarious 1940s dialogue like "Aw, you dames are sure screwy" that makes the film so fun to watch.

 Slant Magazine - Film Review: They Drive by Night
The first half is a socially conscious depression-era film in which down-on-their-luck truckers attempt to make an honest living despite their exploitative bosses.
Driven mad by the memory of killing her husband (which she accomplishes via a plan involving her newfangled electric garage door), Lupino breaks down while testifying in the climactic courtroom scene, and the performance's brazen lunacy—Lupino's eyes glazed and makeup askew, incoherent, mumbled words tumbling out of her mouth—is a testament to overacting virtuosity.
They Drive by Night never coalesces into a coherent whole, but as far as sturdy '40s Hollywood melodramas go, it's a pretty sweet two-for-one movie deal.

They Drive By Night has a rich plot, a wonderfully bizarre climax, and strong evocation of workingman blues, though Raft's proto-Bogart moves suffer some with the actual Bogart glowering and sweating alongside.

 The Films of Raoul Walsh
One also recalls the way the hero of They Drive by Night is constantly refusing drinks; the film makes a big deal about his disinterest in alcohol, and suggests he is a role model for people.
They Drive by Night also anticipates The Naked and the Dead (1958), in that it shows an all-powerful system driving like a juggernaut over the lives of ordinary people trapped within it.
The film is less close to the storm drain finale of Anthony Mann's He Walked by Night (1948), or to the train yard climax of John Sturges' Mystery Street (1950).
