Songs about the trucking industry and the men (and women) who drive the big rigs have been a favorite theme in music for decades. The first trucker song was recorded in 1939. Titled Truck Driver’s Blues, it was recorded by Cliff Bruner and His Boys.
The tune was aimed at roadside cafe owners who were setting up jukeboxes in their establishments in record numbers to serve the truckers. The following have been ranked as some of the best truck songs of all time.
