FWIW, 10 miles from me is the "The World's Largest Truck Stop."

The I-80 mega truck stop is Exit 284, Brownells is 100 miles to the west at Exit 182.

Another classic that I totally forgot about.

The boys are thirsty in Atlanta, and there's beer in Texarkana, and we'll bring it back no matter what it takes.






Donald Trump is not a politician, he is a leader, politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless.

Not a truck song, but a long time favorite/fan of Taj Mahal, whom I saw live a the Cellar Door (DC) the the early 1970's, a very intimate performance area.
 
Diving Duck Blues.

Tons of songs by the king of Dieselbilly Bill Kirchen







My favorite Chris Knight's Hammer Going Down




This is a good tune as well

Between people like Dave Dudley and Red Simpson there's to s of them. Most of them very forgetful... if you're lucky. Smile

Now someone post Big Wheels Rolling as we remember Red and Sonny. Wink

My favorite, too. Another good cover is by George Thorogood.

I agree on "30,000 lbs of bananas"!
Also David Allen Coe's "You Never Even Called me by my Name".

Grateful Dead - Truckin'
I tend to include "Casey Jones" in there too.

Probably the best ever cover, but he's not driving a truck. Smile

There are probably a dozen or more versions of "Truck Drivin'Man" but I kind of like this one by Jim and Jesse:

When I read the title of the post one song came to mind immediately.

"Ted Bear" as listed in the 4th reply by Gustofer. As a kid I would alway ask my mom to get it out and play it. Only song I ever heard on that album.

I truly loved it then and still do today. I loved my teddy back then when I was a kid and the little guy is still as meaningful to me today as well.

I guess I'm just a 6'5" big old soft heart guy.
