What are the top ten trucking songs of all-time?

Jun 20, 2011

Planning for Overdrive‘s 50th anniversary this year, we want to hear from you with recommendations for a top-ten list of the best trucking songs of all time. Lest I unduly influence the process, I will refrain here from mentioning my own top-ten, but let’s say potential contenders could range from classics by Red Sovine to “Eastbound and Down” to the more recent, such as Pure Grain’s “Trucking Song” or many a tune penned by owner-operator-crooners running the highways today.

Post your top ten (or two, or five, or seven) in the comments here to get us started. From your recommendations, we’ll cobble together a final list for publication with our special anniversary coverage this fall.

Responding to Overdrive's 'Truckers' Highway Report Card' survey, small-business owner-operators ranked Indiana's I-70 as the worst. The Indiana DOT and other state DOTs who made the list are well aware of the perception and are looking to solve the problem.

Responding to Overdrive's "Truckers' Highway Report Card" survey, owner-operators ranked Indiana's I-70 the absolute worst haul route in the nation. Indiana and other state DOTs who made the "worst roads" list, some recognize, can use the naming and shaming truckers' perceptions offer in a new 20-page report charting infrastructure struggles around the nation.
