May 31, 2012

Editors of Overdrive sister pub Truckers News sat down with country music star Aaron Tippin at Uncle Pete’s truckstop (See Todd Dills’ write-up here on Pete’s coffee cup collection and friendship with Aaron Tippin) in Lebanon, Tenn., to talk country music, trucking songs and the freedom of the open road.
