Wiseblood's 'Motorslug' would be good.

I actually used to drive a truck for a living years ago

.....but what I listened to when driving it tended to range between Rush, Stanley Clarke, Gordon Lightfoot and Testament. Not very helpful I guess, sorry....

I can't believe no one suggested "Truck Driving Man".

I recommend the version by The New Riders of the Purple Sage. They also do a mean version of "Six Days on the Road". "Panama Red" and "Henry" is also a good driving tune, amongst others.

Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen also play some mean truck-driving music.

Here I get to the last post with just one mention of Commander Cody (*nods* to suzywong) and none of Truck Driving Man! And then sangha nails it.

By all means carry along plenty of Lost Planet Airmen. (I have a Best Of CD that's pretty good.) And yes, the Allman Brothers. Maybe a little Marshall Tucker Band too, if you like Southern Rock. And how 'bout some Pure Prairie League, since you're headed westward? A fun band you don't hear even on the oldies stations these days. (Leastways, Ah shore don't.)

there aren't any good classic country stations in my area and the classic rock stations are starting to phase in a lot of cheesy 80's mainstream rock.
Oh, I didn't notice that you're out west. Here in the "heartland", you'll get more of that stuff than you can shake the proverbial stick at. Meanwhile, there's not a single rap playing station that broadcasts in my hometown (Minneapolis has a few, but Rochester doesn't). Not that that's a bad thing, but it's just an example of the lack of variety in the radio here. There's classic rock, a little bit of pop, a few public radio stations, and practically the rest of the FM dial is country.

What he says is quite painfully true.

Heh, when I drove a "truck" (not really, it was a large amusement machinery repair van) for a living, I played Zappa, Genesis, Tomita, Yes, 3 Mustphas 3, Kraftwerk... yuppers, real truck drivin' music there. :-D

It's all helpful

I don't think that I specified that it had to be one particular genre or country for example. All suggestions considered thanks!

I used to just listen to a lot of thrash or death metal when driving around but I already have a bad case of road rage so I switched it up.

I'll tell ya, for me nothing used to make wanna floor it and drive the truck right over the top of little puny compact cars like blasting Testament, Anthrax, Motorhead or SOD. Ahhh, what driving pleasure....

I can't believe how conventional most of your answers are! To me, big trucks mean power, weight, grit, fumes and ultimately BIG CRASHES!

So I'll go with Glen Branca's Ascension CD, the original wall-o-guitars noise that really conveys the belch and muscle of a big truck on a collision course in hell!

I'd have the lot of you up before the beak at the Office of the Traffic Commissioner for this load of shite. I'm sure we could get you under a section 23 schedule 3 of the 1985 transport act for a breach of the safety regulations regarding crap music in the cab of a HGV/PSV.
