Tim McGraw, a highly acclaimed country singer, recently released his latest single, which honors the trucking industry and is boosting fleet management morale efforts.
The new single titled Truck Yeah features guitar riffs, organ music and a strong backbeat designed to make truckers smile across the country. The song was not written to be an intellectual work of art, but rather a fun tune truckers and other people on the road can enjoy when cruising down the nation's highways. The song talks about the life of a truck driver, making long hauls across the United States and listening to country music along the way.
McGraw's single plays into stereotypes of Americans from the South, West and Midwest, as well as fun cliches regarding the trucking industry. The tune begs to be turned up loud as if the music is driving a large semi forward on its route.
McGraw is not the first singer to write for the trucking industry. In 1963 Dave Dudley's Six Days on the Road topped American music charts, as well as Kip Moore's Somethin' 'Bout a Truck. The older songs discussed life on the road operating 18-wheelers while transporting goods throughout America.
