The last of the era of the ‘Independent’ truckers. Notice how that industry got wrecked by the government? I’m confident the Unions didn’t help either (join or we’ll bust your head). Used to be anyone with the means could go out; purchase a rig; get whatever load and drive as long as they needed or wanted to, to deliver.
This is my favorite song of the 1960's--the story of an independent trucker who must cope, among other things, with Federal government bureaucrats.
