Started driving truck in 1987, I'm now 62 and still driving. I passed along my knowledge to my son who is still driving and to those who I trained over the years. I am saddened to see what has happened to the industry, I used to love my job, in fact I never referred to it as a job, it was a lifestyle. Now it's a job, I'm looking forward to retirement now, counting the days.
One of my fathers favorites. He was a truck driver(tanker). Dad passed away this week at 80myears of age. I remember the day he taught me to drive that big truck , I was 14 years of age. Came to this site to reminisce and try to fill an empty spot from within my body. Memories of dad and listening to songs that he loved
You may never get this- as you posted it a few years ago - but I came here for the very reason as you, just this past week, my Dad w/6 million safe driving miles behind the wheel, passed at 85 years old - I hope it gets easier over the years. Blessings.
One of my favourites from the first time I ever seen a big rig pull in our driveway. Brought tears to my eyes then and still does to this day. My Husband is a truck driver and My Father-in-law's a truck driver and my Boys getting his license as we speak. Blessings each and everyone of you, to the true truck drivers🙏🏼💪🏼 may Jesus always bring you home❤
Red Sovine was one of the greatest country singers for Truckers. Amazing songs he made. He had some that were not about trucks and those were good to, but most of them seemed to be for Truckers. My grandfather was a trucker for some time. He told me some funny stories.
Reminds me of Dad. Red Sovine was a favorite of his. He drove a truck at times. As a child of the Depression, and a veteran of two wars, he always had a side hustle or three, trucking was one. He taught me. And I remember Red Sovine on the radio. My much younger wife cries every single time Red Sovine plays on one of the music apps.
❤❤I loved this song so much when I was growing up I love truckers and all of very beautiful semi trucks when I found out that this was a true story ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
When I first started listening to this song it reminds me of the Truckers back Home. Florida. New a few Truckers. Always enjoy hearing this song. Just a word of Thank s for all you Truckers for helping delivering the freight. God-Bless you Truckers.
My name is Tony Paxson like you. d addy would give us kids a ride in that big rig, but we all ceyed, when he left ;because we;all knew it would be 3 week or so before ,Daddy would be home again.HE MISSED BIRTHDAYS, And os much more, I understand, what those songs realy mean, god bless u.
I'm a 27 year old trucker and all I could do was put myself in this guy's shoes. This is real music, that can make you feel something! Now like the modern rubbish of today. Just copied pasted and spat out the back of a computer.
some beautiful trucks....love this song, my dad was a trucker, lost him in 2004. i been trucking for 35 years now, doing local now but miss the big road...
This song brings back a lot of great memories when I was a lot younger it one of the best trucker songs I was about 5 when I first heard it playing on the radio
I grew up at the tail end of CB radio and used it daily for fun with my friends, but no matter what technology comes forth, like the telegraph was the pioneer in national communication, CB radio and HAM, these were the first modern pioneers in national mobile communications that will never die. RIP, Red.
Not my usual listening pleasure but today I'm missing my Daddy knowing I'll never see him pulling up in his big rig again. Pancreatic cancer claimed his life and took my Daddy away, from his 7 children.
I think of a lot of my trucker family when it was real we run together and no matter what we cross paths and back then and now it's nothing all the truckers in my day wore boots blue jeans and black and we were proud now flip flop and trying to hurt no respect I guess yesterday is really gone and many have passed on like craw daddy country boy Paul Bunyan pop t I really miss my trucking brothers and there many more than ran cross country and they called me billy the kid good bye my brothers we were men
Your video is the best music of country music is the best in the USA I am a Art for Devon I like to draw your heavy duty truck My draw is out of this world 🌎🌎
That b52 mack good luck that truck had 352 cumines motor that rig was one heck fig nothing could stop it two stick rig only not out interstate I could nt miss gear have stop midow start over
Floyd jones......this is a great song and your dad obviously had his own issues so don't you Dare stereotype all truck drivers over your own mental and emotional issues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You need to hear Minnie Perl's answer to this song. Then you would know the true reason why she disappeared. It was not because he was a terrific husband...
I just lost my dad 10/27/2021, he had been truck driver for more than 30+ years. I was raised on truck driving songs all of my life, especially my many favorite from Red Sovine, like Teddy Bear, Giddy up go, and Phantom 309.
i ; fell ,I must tell this story, once their was a man who decided to raise a family after serving in the navy, In 1964, yes the time of the atack on PEARL HABOR. This truckers cb handle was ,Easy rider. His over the road trucking carear, lasted 45 years. this man name is. William c Paxson of ALLINACE OH. raised 6 children.My dad pass away in 1995.The most heart worming thing that could EVER happen, when his body was lifted into the hurse,tears flow from every eyes in the lot as t5he TRUCKERS from all ove ths country.started sounding their horns one by one, a true over 200 trucker salute.G OD bLESS'ALL OF YOU TRUCKERS.
All this brings back from my childhood to. My daddy was a trucker. Hauled milk for Michigan Milk Producers Association. Many times I went with him to Harbor Beach Michigan then down to Detroit. Every night getting home around 10 or 11 at night. Sure do miss him. Had all these songs memorized when I was a child. Bless the truckers who risk their life for all of us.
I grew up in a trucker's family. I too know the sadness of dad being away from home just not as stastic as the song. My thoughts and memories as a trucker myself go to those who move this country on trucks. My respect and dedication to the old timers and the mid to the new who handle this job every day of the week.
I live in a truckers family. I know how it feels to be with out a dad. My father is a trucker which he hauls livestock. I respect this song cause of it. But I want to follow in his steps.
Love this song when I was a kid, still do really, are there some of that continues to bug me. Why didn't the wife leave a note, telling her husband exactly where she was going with their kid 😕
Trucker wife he's in heaven now but we loved this song and all of Red Sovine music. People just don't understand what the truck drivers go through, have to be there to see it and how stupid drivers can be with the big rigs coming down and they play tag?? no idea what they are doing.
Every time I go camping my mum and dad let my brother and I pick an album to pick and I always pick the one that says old truck songs because I know this one is on it as well as teddy bear and teddy bears last ride
I was a proud trucker for about 35 years until I was forced to retire being on the road cost me a wife and I missed a lot of my daughters life, well all you truckers be safe
It is, He was gone so long on the road that he didnt know what was going on with his family, and by the time he came back they just up and dissapeared, and nobody knew where they went, and knew how much his son loved trucks and his father. His son was the one with the brand new rig that pulled up around his father and both trucks had the name "Giddy Up Go", thats when they pulled into the truck stop, and got to knowing each other, and then found out his wife sadly died, and rode into the night
These songs bring me to tears because I used to sit in my late grandfathers lap listening to his vinyl records with him and it reminds me of the amazing times as a kid 😭 they are good tears
That was my first words too even before that song even came out too I said the same thing to my dad too he was and owner operator too back in the early 50s too kh
Ive been driving for 20 years now. Ive already lost one family, because i was never home. I still talk to the kids a lot, and im still close with thier mom, but never being home is hard on a family. I tried taking time off to make things better before it got this far, but the bills pile up too quickly. Its a hard life, hard choices. Im living in an old motor home right now, still driving truck tho. Im a 4th generation driver, and the 3rd that lost his family. I love my family, but dont really know anything else i could do to support them. If youre a driver, and have a family, take time for them. Its worth it ❤ This song hits differently at different times in life I think. Never easy tho
My grandfather was a driver as was my father and uncle. I was a kid when my father passed. I recently passed thru my uncles home town, so I stopped and picked him up as my delivery was only 50 miles away. He had a grin 2 miles wide. He called my mother as soon as he got home. I'm so glad I did that,but I'm sad, wondering if that was the last time he'll get to be in a semi. For the past month he has been in and out of the hospital. My advice, guys remember the old timers. It's time well spent.
I cried as a child when I listened to this song. Well it's been a long time. I'm a truck driver in my 50's and the tears just giddy up go.
Safe travels God bless you and thank you for your service to our people!
Me and you both I cry even cry OLD YELLER. THIS SONG AND THAT MOVIE I AM A BALL OF TEARS
My papaw showed me this we both cry 😭
I just re-heard this GEM moments ago, and I'm a'tearin' up, too! A Father and Son, reunited after all those years...WOW!!!
I love songs like this!!!
This song brings tears as sad then later happy tears

thanks . still difficult at this time but I know he is jamming gears with his brother in Heaven
God bless you and your dad
It's a strange addiction, the man loves what he does but hates missing the time with his family

Loved this song as a kid. Love it just as much now. On the verge of tears near the end though.
Still hits hard after all these years.
Was looking for general trucking music for this video... wow this is something else.. this is poetry and so poignant.
Reminds me of Dad. Red Sovine was a favorite of his. He drove a truck at times. As a child of the Depression, and a veteran of two wars, he always had a side hustle or three, trucking was one. He taught me. And I remember Red Sovine on the radio.

I'm a 27 year old trucker and all I could do was put myself in this guy's shoes.

My dad died with his truck. I was 8 and my sister was 10. I cry to this song. Momma would sob everytime she heard it.nI drove and now so does my son.
Aww this is great.! I used to sing this to my Dad when I was little, and here I am 40 today I just found this. Hey Frankie, love you! xxxx
My Dad has a '55 Chevy pickup which we called "Giddyup Go". Thanks for posting.
Happy vets Day. Truckers. And dock workers. American heroes. Let us thank our truckers america. True American heroes !
I just dropped a tear
some beautiful trucks....love this song, my dad was a trucker, lost him in 2004. i been trucking for 35 years now, doing local now but miss the big road...
It’s July 2020, and I’m just hearing this song... man I do love country 🎶
Giddy up go bring’s back memories.
This song is still great. I remember hearing it years ago.
This song brings back a lot of great memories when I was a lot younger it one of the best trucker songs I was about 5 when I first heard it playing on the radio
This is another Red Sovine Classic!
+Matt Boyer yes
Giddy up go 2024 😢❤ this music is most about thoughts and stories I love it
I grew up at the tail end of CB radio and used it daily for fun with my friends, but no matter what technology comes forth, like the telegraph was the pioneer in national communication, CB radio and HAM, these were the first modern pioneers in national mobile communications that will never die.
RIP, Red.
My cousin died at 37 years old I've been listening to this music but since I was 5 I can't let it go I'm going to be close to 50 now
2024 still an awesome song
I listen to this song every time I ride in a big truck with my papa
This was so heart warming it made me and my family cry😯❤️
.Doesn't just make Trucker's cry!!!
That is for sure!!
The song is good I love this song.
Damn it red you done it again...trucker for life
Minie pearl did a song called giddy up go return. It was the end of this song from the point of view of a waitress at the truck stop they pulled into.
Happy vets day. American truckers !
Sure, do miss my dad, he. Was a truck driver. He drove a Peterbelt
Unfortunately, they don't make those songs anymore. That was when people were kinder to one another, and our hearts weren't hardened with hatred.
This song always brings the waterworks
damn good song
Memories ❤❤
I'm sitting w and lesson to. And tears
Not my usual listening pleasure but today I'm missing my Daddy knowing I'll never see him pulling up in his big rig again. Pancreatic cancer claimed his life and took my Daddy away, from his 7 children.

Plying Red sovine
follow up with Minnie Pearl?
Hi
Been a bad husband, thats why his wife left him ofcourse. Nobody seems to care about that.
You need to hear Minnie Perl's answer to this song. Then you would know the true reason why she disappeared. It was not because he was a terrific husband...
