True Story

Thank you for this video! My husband is a truck driver for a very large company that I won’t say the name, but everyone would know the the company. He gets so little respect it’s crazy to me. He’s underpaid and overworked, almost no free time, only one full day off per week, he gets home late on his go home day, has all of the following day off and then has to go to bed early the next day to get up and go back to work at 3am. It leaves almost no time to do anything fun. Sometimes it seems like the company works against him, the places he gets sent to, he often ends up waiting for hours, to get loaded or unloaded, losing money, watching people not doing their jobs, while they treat him like trash, calling him “driver” instead of his name, which is on his name tag. Of course he’s not allowed to help load or unload because of liability. A lot of those people don’t understand that and have been known to call him lazy. He’s always getting put in a different truck, where other drivers have trashed it and left it that way for him to clean up. Believe me, I hear the stories on a daily basis and it breaks my heart. Because I can’t help him. All I can do is try to make our home nice for when he gets to come back. Then there are all the regular drivers out there that don’t understand what they should be doing when they’re around semi. It’s ridiculous what he has to deal with in traffic and the stupid things people do. And if he makes a mistake or something happens, he could very easily lose his job. he’s been doing this for over 20 years, amazingly with the perfect driving record so far. But I worry about him constantly. Thank you for speaking out for the good men and women who are doing a very difficult job. Just a sidenote, the average lifespan of a truck driver is only 61 years. The national average lifespan for a man is 76 years. I wish everyone could hear this video and start treating the truck drivers. They know with a little more respect.

I smile with a tear in my eye .dust off and get it was all we knew ..lot of money and pain

i know her she is a nice person i hope she is doing fine ❣she always let stay at her house np

Best song ever. Thanks.

You will never see flip flops and turbins in a cow truck

I lived it and I survived !!!!! God bless long haul truckers !!!!!

Hauled a few cattle but never did it for a living but I can relate to this song.

That song hit like a ton of bricks after 50 yrs of otr I kind of feel like that ole Pete in the field

Luv your music⚔️

Hey Tex, did the old girl ever get Her face-lift as you mentioned in the video? I'd sure love to see that video!

The steering wheel holder's we have today will never know!!!!! Hugoton is a hard run In an ole W-9!!!!! Been west of Dodge City running 102 many times

The guy featured in this video is a racist freak and you should probably take this down.

How is my Dad in this video ?? The man in the truck at the beginning ..brown hair red cap ..

Map lines, where you would get out the map and lay a line from where you were to where you were going to, then go there.

This is why us drivers do what we do so we can teach the next generation it means as much to us as it does to them it puts a huge smile on our face as well this young man will have a long lasting memory of this moment and will teach everyone else and his kids thank god for truckers

Met this man multiple times he’s as genuine as it gets

👍👍👍🇺🇸🟥🌊

Way to go tony

I started running in 1968. Tried other things, but always went back to trucking. As I said before, you had to be there to understand it!!! The truckers today don't have a clue!!!

This song is riveting....I been pounding that pavement for over 30 years now and grew up in this life ...and Paul surely knows and been where I been ...thank you hand for this song !!

Well, it's 5 years later Tex, and this is still my favorite U Tube video. I hope this finds you doing well and that all your loved ones are happy and healthy.

Ran for 20 years!!! Still miss running them gears!!¡

Still

The new truckers will never understand
