10 Best Truckin' Songs Of All Time

Truck driving can be a lonesome profession when you're out there spending long hours on the road for several weeks at a time. When you think about it, there aren't too many jobs that require you to be away from family and friends for such extensive periods of time -- let alone go under appreciated by the general public -- putting the life of a truck driver in a league of its own as far as unique career experiences.
