My grandfather was a trucker. We played this song at his funeral, with his casket literally strapped to the back of his 18 wheeler rather than a hearse.
Met my late husband via CB. I broke down and he was the ONLY person to help me, he stopped at the State Police, in his truck, and sent help. We were together 26 years.
Ive been driving for 23 years now and this song is still fun and makes the job seem right. i played this full blast as me and about 20 other tanker trucks rolled into Panama City just a few days after the hurricane bringing water and supplies to the people here. We are still here helping and will be until things get better. 10-4
playing this song at Rebel Radio while driving through Sandy Shores is a different feeling altogether🥺🥺 RIP CW McCall, thanks for blessing us with this song.
This could be the biggest protest in North American history come Friday. This is only Monday and look at how much money they've raised and how many trucks and people are involved. There could be over a million people stuffing into Ottawa with a hundred thousand trucks flooding the city. Trudeau has awoken something that's been just waiting to arise for two years now. It's called the common sense majority. The sham is up. This was about big pharma greed and the reflection that it had on our governments imposing these lockdowns (that go against the Nuremberg code, btw) for political and financial gain. Trudeau and the liberals have to go. What they represent is not what the vast majority of Canadians represent. I have honestly not felt pride of being Canadian since I was a young lad playing hockey. This convoy has reinvigorated that sense of pride
Thank you for your years of trucking. Truckers are the ultimate unsung heroes. Often a thankless job despite truckers are the reason we have our way of life. Truckers stop the whole world stops.
Here to pay my respects to Mr. Kris Kristofferson who passed away at the age of 88 today 9/29/2024. He starred in many movies and always turned in stellar performances. But he will always be "The Rubber Duck" from the movie Convoy to me. R.I.P my friend 🙏🙏🙏
The 1st Movie i've seen in a cinema at the age of 13. The Movie was rated "18+" but my Father and my Uncle, both Truck drivers at that time, "smuggled" me in the theatre. Later i started truck driving myself, for almost 30 Years, and i've seen the whole of europe and parts of asia. Wittnessed the war in yugoslavia, the fall of the iron courtain, the fall of the USSR and the German Reunion! Priceless,! Hearing thsi song, i can't help having wet eyes, to date! Thanky you, God, Dad, Uncle, Sam Peckinpah and last but not least C.W. McCall R.I.P. ! From Austria. 🤘

@@GArnoldHD The 1978 film was shown in the USSR 10 years later. I've watched this movie several times in the theater. American films were packed, the ticket for them always cost 1.5 times more. The film was remembered for a long time. In 1987, Kris Kristofferson came to the USSR. Terrible times have come again...

My little brother loved CW McCall and CONVOY. . . he would ride his big wheel in the driveway and pretend to talk on a CB radio. Steven was only 50 years old when he died of cancer a couple of years ago and I thought of Convoy and found this video. Great memories. . . . .
Mary Tate daddy loved this song and many other trucker songs. Daddy was a logger, a truck driver, and a mechanic and much more through out his life. Passed at age 54 from a heart attack and a blow to the head. I’m sure your brother and my daddy are friends in heaven
Mary Tate I am sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad in 2013. I lost my Mom in 2016. She developed lung cancer from smoking, but also because she’d been fighting a chronic form of lymphoma for about fifteen years.

This song was in my dad's driving mix for good reason. Years later, playing GTA, I'd always switch to rebel radio so that if I heard this song, I could get into a 18-wheeler with a police chase..
The 70s were wild. Not only did they make a movie about Convoys, there was a hit song. Weed and coke and PBR. Bell bottoms, platform shoes and free love. Actors that looked like real humans, real boobs and real food.
I'm 27 years old and I'm French... I listen and watch this movie since I was kid... it's one of the things gave me the desire to be truck driver... I drive trucks since my 18, but in France, it's not the same... truckers is not a family anymore... 😔 I try to keep the reel value and the respect from old truckers but in vain... My biggest Dream is to drive these trucks on these american roads... the american Dream 🥰 God bless America, and God bless Truckers 🤝🏻🤠
we need truckers over here man. it pays pretty well too. if you want scenry and to roam the west in high gear, dude bite the bullet go for it! We would be proud to have you over here.
Me the same watching this movie grey when i was that age. Hopefully it wil change here in europe and that we stand united one day against the tyranie what divide us al for so many years. They know exactly what they did 20 years ago they destroyd healthy transport and declassefied it and we blamed eachother.
@@kathleenstanley6751 Watched it 30 years ago with my dad, even though our Autobahn doesn't have speed limits, and you can always out-drive any truck... but the impression, that one watches something glorious, remained since the first viewing. Perhaps time to give it another gander, after not having watched the movie for three or four years.. :)
My daddy was the oldest of 12 kids. He and 8 of his brothers were truckers. He died in 1995. This movement makes my heart swell with pride. I had a tough relationship with my dad, but he'd be right there in the middle of this if he were still alive. God Bless this Convoy 🙏🏽 ❤
Im not a trucker and nobody in my family is and im exploding with pride anyways, its one of the most beautiful things ive ever seen. RIP to your dad, you know hes smiling down at this, its probably visible from heaven at this stage lol
I've been trucking for over 40 years. The truckers have been disrespected for years. Now the very people who have treated us with the most disrespect are finding out just how rough life is, without the lowly truck driivers! " SUCK IT UP TRUDEAU, IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GO"!
Darn right. My Grandpa Ken "King" Cole drove rig for Hutton Transport,Labatts & Domtar/Norampac in total for over 65yrs. At one time he was the 2nd oldest trucker in Canada & not "ONE ACCIDENT" 😃
Free to take a dump on homeowners front yards, block delivery routes for meds and groceries for seniors, pollute downtown air, make kids afraid to go outside to play, harass homeless shelter staff, harrass employees of small businesses....so much freedom from law and order, and civilization and common decency.
@@mariposa9506 While I agree some of those actions should not be supported at all at the same time theres always gonna be some dicks mixed into any group that big, the majority of stuff ive seen there has been peaceful, and it is nowhere near as bad as the majority of the big protests that go on down in the states, hopefully it can remain peaceful and they can shake off the small group of racists and trouble makers for the most part
R I P C W Mc Call - Age 93 Passed on April 1 2022 We will take it from Here Good Buddy - God Bless The Peoples Convoy across The USA 🇺🇸 & Canada 🇨🇦 & The 🌎
indeed. The song is about civil disobedience (without burning down buildings or attacking people, BTW) and it inspired the 1978 movie, "Convoy", with Kris Kristofferson and Ali McGraw, which was also about freedom from government overreach. CB radio was at its height of popularity in 1978.
A song about a cop who was after truckers because they were truckers. Nothing about vaccines which protect us all. Also notice the movie had African Americans who were against oppression by the police as well. The truckers protesting today are tyrants because they are costing people jobs and money and impeding progress.
@@hiphopunike14 The 1975 song is simple civil disobedience: "I says, "Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck, we just ain't a-gonna pay no toll", So we crashed the gate doing ninety-eight, I says "Let them truckers roll, 10-4" much like today. And please drop the race-baiting.
Just lost a very good friend recently who was known as rubber duck by his other trucking friends. This is the first song they played at his funeral and it just felt right
There should be an Easter egg in GTA 5 where if you drive the truck from the music video while playing the song on the radio, you can make the truck fly
When you had that mission where you steal that truck that’s being escorted by the military this was playing when i was driving and i laughed so hard that i would just sing along to it
I used to watch this with dad. I grew up with these movies and music. Now i'm 39 and i'm still here. A big hug to everybody from an italian rockabilly drummer.
Respect to all our truckers working hard out there to give everything we need in life to survive. Ty keep up your good work & taking care of us. From Canada.
I have had uncles and cousins that drove trucks, my brother, and my best friend are also truck drivers. MAD respect for them and the job they do, not just now, but EVERY day!
They need to play it once an hour across Canada, and the Canadian version with the freedom convoy on its FIFTH day, landing on Parliament Hill on Saturday from 12pm Canadian time.
@@gymguy25 That's going a bit too far, an independent store owner should have the right to who goes into their store, if they don't feel safe having unvaccinated people in their store then they should have the freedom to kick them out.
@@GuestGuest-i1b Agreed. I found some of my new favourite songs on the channels on it. Next Stop by BLEACHED is a great one, and there is dozens of comments of people only specifically finding it due to GTA V lol
I come from a family of Truck Drivers my Great Grandfather, my Grandfather, my dad, and my brother. They all love and loved this song R.I.P. my Great Grandfather, and my Grandfather!.
FIGHT EVERYONE FIGHT FOR OUR FREEDOM WORLD WIDE. AND GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU VERY BRAVE PEOPLE. AND THANK YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. AND PLEASE PLEASE HOLD THE LINE EVERYONE........
Right wing sellouts truckers, lolz. You guys make less than half of what teamsters make. Always remember truckers outlaws, anti government and pig. Acab! No gods or masters.
I became a trucker right before Covid 19 truly hit bad so I feel lucky somewhat, I landed a job and still working at same place closer 3 years later. I love listen this song sometimes while driving and the moment notice you got many trucks following you in a nice big convoy, its beautiful sight. If only would have trucker radios, probably would be chit chat going on along side asking if speed needs to be increased.
@@Cynderfan35эти фильмы очень сильно повлияли на меня, понял это только когда мне исполнилось 33 года. После карантина COVID-19, ушёл из it и стал водителем KAMAZ 5490. Привет из России 😉
Same for me..... im a 70s-80s Aussie kid.... every time I hear this song, it sends shivers up my spine.... Loved the Movie and the song, has everything tat 80s kids wanted in a movie lol
I was an 88 mike for the us army that's a truck driver and we convoyed all the way to Seattle Washington and just looking at rigs of every make model and size gave me tears in my eyes i love trucks they should block the highway on 95 for miles and have a good old fashioned convoy and let them truckers roll.
RIP Rubber Duck 😪🦆Love that opening scene with the Rubber Duck coming over the hill in the salt hills with the drumbeats. Should have been a Convoy 2 - The Ducks Revenge.
rplife I drove from Buffalo, NY to California, those Mountains scared the hell out of me, yes that Buffalo called SNOW CAPITAL OF USA, true Lake Erie dumps 12-14 feet of snow every winter, we got that name from Blizzard 1977, crazy storm it snowed every day in December & January, some schools had 3 weeks off. Of all other Citys near 5 Great Lakes why Buffalo gets the most Snow. 1 good thing were called MIami of the North we get lots of 90 degree days in summer
Depending on the capacity, a truck can go several hundred miles on a full tank. And older trucks got better MPG than the emissions choked crap we have today.
@@78FullSizeBronco i drive a day cab and that will go 400 miles + on full tanks. an over the road truck can have two 150+ gallon tanks. they can go damn near 1,000 miles on full tanks
Rest in peace Kris, Convoy is the reason I still drive articulated trucks today, and used CB radios through the 80’s. I could watch that film with the sound off and still know every word, absolutely iconic. 10-10 Rubber Duck, Thank You for the memories.
Guys, HERE is Our Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
I love it! But part of what they were fighting for was to be "logged and timed" actually very important in today's world..... means they can't drive endlessly without resting for X amount of hours per working hours
God bless the law that actually rules today and makes them rest after so many work hours! No more X amount of hours driving without X amount of down time
My dad was a trucker, I was born in 76. I used to love this song when I was a kid. I just felt as though it was the coolest thing. This song was made in 75. Who here is a Canadian and thought of this toon due to our situation we are currently living in Jan 2022?....Multiple convoys from all over Canada and USA heading to the countries capital to protest the mandates. And the truckers said they are not leaving until the mandates are lifted. It is currently the world's largest convoy in human history, by a long shot.
Canadian here ! I went to a huge Freedom Convoy rally at the Vaughn Mills mall on the outskirts of Toronto just today (Jan.27) BIG, beautiful crowd of happy, upbeat ,peaceful Canadian patriots out there to support our truckers, and to take our rights back that our governments had NO right to take in the first place !! ! Godspeed to us all - and FJT !!!

Here 2024!
The 70s were wild. Not only did they make a movie about Convoys, there was a hit song. Weed and coke and PBR. Bell bottoms, platform shoes and free love. Actors that looked like real humans, real boobs and real food.
Also fully automatic rifles in stores.
Да, времена были интересные.
You failed to mention the slow motion fight scenes! Lool
Times were good.
And let's not forget the free clinics for all that free love!
I'm 27 years old and I'm French...
I listen and watch this movie since I was kid... it's one of the things gave me the desire to be truck driver... I drive trucks since my 18, but in France, it's not the same... truckers is not a family anymore... 😔 I try to keep the reel value and the respect from old truckers but in vain...
My biggest Dream is to drive these trucks on these american roads... the american Dream 🥰
God bless America, and God bless Truckers 🤝🏻🤠
We’d be happy to have you, Nicolas. Get that Visa submitted and come join us!
Get your ass stateside and haul ass brother!!!
we need truckers over here man. it pays pretty well too. if you want scenry and to roam the west in high gear, dude bite the bullet go for it! We would be proud to have you over here.
Same in Holland 🤙🏻🤟🏼
Me the same watching this movie grey when i was that age.
Hopefully it wil change here in europe and that we stand united one day against the tyranie what divide us al for so many years.
They know exactly what they did 20 years ago they destroyd healthy transport and declassefied it and we blamed eachother.

And, now I have to find this movie and watch it again. 42 years later. Oh my....
@@kathleenstanley6751 Watched it 30 years ago with my dad, even though our Autobahn doesn't have speed limits, and you can always out-drive any truck... but the impression, that one watches something glorious, remained since the first viewing. Perhaps time to give it another gander, after not having watched the movie for three or four years.. :)
10-4 partner
not much of a convoy but good luck
Sang this in a talent show
Rest in peace Kris Kristofferson. This movie made my childhood and started my life long obsession and career in the trucking industry
My daddy was the oldest of 12 kids. He and 8 of his brothers were truckers. He died in 1995. This movement makes my heart swell with pride. I had a tough relationship with my dad, but he'd be right there in the middle of this if he were still alive. God Bless this Convoy 🙏🏽 ❤
Im not a trucker and nobody in my family is and im exploding with pride anyways, its one of the most beautiful things ive ever seen. RIP to your dad, you know hes smiling down at this, its probably visible from heaven at this stage lol
I've been trucking for over 40 years.
The truckers have been disrespected for years. Now the very people who have treated us with the most disrespect are finding out just how rough life is, without the lowly truck driivers!
" SUCK IT UP TRUDEAU, IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GO"!
May your dad rest In Peace with all the other truckers God bless

Free to take a dump on homeowners front yards, block delivery routes for meds and groceries for seniors, pollute downtown air, make kids afraid to go outside to play, harass homeless shelter staff, harrass employees of small businesses....so much freedom from law and order, and civilization and common decency.

@Roman K meow.
This has always been a song about freedom against tyranny. Keep on truckin'!
indeed. The song is about civil disobedience (without burning down buildings or attacking people, BTW) and it inspired the 1978 movie, "Convoy", with Kris Kristofferson and Ali McGraw, which was also about freedom from government overreach. CB radio was at its height of popularity in 1978.
A song about a cop who was after truckers because they were truckers. Nothing about vaccines which protect us all. Also notice the movie had African Americans who were against oppression by the police as well. The truckers protesting today are tyrants because they are costing people jobs and money and impeding progress.
@@hiphopunike14 The 1975 song is simple civil disobedience: "I says, "Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck, we just ain't a-gonna pay no toll", So we crashed the gate doing ninety-eight, I says "Let them truckers roll, 10-4" much like today. And please drop the race-baiting.
@@zoso73 3 another movie in 1978 is Superman (Richard Donner), Midnight Express (Alan Parker) & Apocalypse Now (Francis Ford Coppola)

Played the shit out of this during Covid.
Just lost a very good friend recently who was known as rubber duck by his other trucking friends. This is the first song they played at his funeral and it just felt right

me as literally any character
Nothin like driving a station wagon down a mountain with this blaring
Me as franklin wearing camo listening to this
There should be an Easter egg in GTA 5 where if you drive the truck from the music video while playing the song on the radio, you can make the truck fly
When you had that mission where you steal that truck that’s being escorted by the military this was playing when i was driving and i laughed so hard that i would just sing along to it
I used to watch this with dad. I grew up with these movies and music. Now i'm 39 and i'm still here.
A big hug to everybody from an italian rockabilly drummer.
Respect to all our truckers working hard out there to give everything we need in life to survive. Ty keep up your good work & taking care of us. From Canada.

When I was 14 in 1977 I’d go sit in my dad’s truck after dinner and listen to the CB radio chatter
This needs to be played on all radio stations across US and Canada now that they have vaccine mandates.
They need to play it once an hour across Canada, and the Canadian version with the freedom convoy on its FIFTH day, landing on Parliament Hill on Saturday from 12pm Canadian time.
@@cybervoyager8668 Unite!!!🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛. Let's roll, convoy!!!
@@cybervoyager8668 The Freedom Convoy isn't about getting rid of the vaccine, it's about having the choice to get the vaccine.
Make asking for proof of vaccination illegal and punishable by a 5000$ fine like they did in Texas!
@@gymguy25 That's going a bit too far, an independent store owner should have the right to who goes into their store, if they don't feel safe having unvaccinated people in their store then they should have the freedom to kick them out.

Rip CW, Just saw his obituary tonight that he’s passed away. 10-4 good buddy we’ll see you on the flip flop on the big ol highway in the sky
My Dad was a trucker, and this was without a doubt one of my favorite films and soundtracks, and another reason why I became a trucker myself!
I became a trucker right before Covid 19 truly hit bad so I feel lucky somewhat, I landed a job and still working at same place closer 3 years later. I love listen this song sometimes while driving and the moment notice you got many trucks following you in a nice big convoy, its beautiful sight. If only would have trucker radios, probably would be chit chat going on along side asking if speed needs to be increased.

Same here. I remember when everyone was getting CB radios on their cars with those long ass spring antennas.
Same for me..... im a 70s-80s Aussie kid.... every time I hear this song, it sends shivers up my spine....
Loved the Movie and the song, has everything tat 80s kids wanted in a movie lol
After 49 years, this movie will be right up on the list of favorites like V for Vendetta.
We are asking for prayers and to request every radio station to play this song . To keep giving you truckers support. Here in America 🇺🇸
A reality in Canada. The truckers made the world's longest convoy, ever! And, they are not finished. Convoy to Ottawa 2022
Nows he driving his beautiful truck in heaven rocking out with his country music lol
I was an 88 mike for the us army that's a truck driver and we convoyed all the way to Seattle Washington and just looking at rigs of every make model and size gave me tears in my eyes i love trucks they should block the highway on 95 for miles and have a good old fashioned convoy and let them truckers roll.

One of my favorite songs since I was a little girl and my Mom would play it on our stereo. Fills me to the core with nostalgia.
rplife I drove from Buffalo, NY to California, those Mountains scared the hell out of me, yes that Buffalo called SNOW CAPITAL OF USA, true Lake Erie dumps 12-14 feet of snow every winter, we got that name from Blizzard 1977, crazy storm it snowed every day in December & January, some schools had 3 weeks off. Of all other Citys near 5 Great Lakes why Buffalo gets the most Snow. 1 good thing were called MIami of the North we get lots of 90 degree days in summer
Farewell C.W McCall and thanks for all the memories.

Depending on the capacity, a truck can go several hundred miles on a full tank. And older trucks got better MPG than the emissions choked crap we have today.

My dad was a trucker, I was born in 76. I used to love this song when I was a kid. I just felt as though it was the coolest thing. This song was made in 75. Who here is a Canadian and thought of this toon due to our situation we are currently living in Jan 2022?....Multiple convoys from all over Canada and USA heading to the countries capital to protest the mandates. And the truckers said they are not leaving until the mandates are lifted. It is currently the world's largest convoy in human history, by a long shot.
I literally thought of it 5 min ago. Thought it great convoy song and found this thread.

I went to a huge Freedom Convoy rally at the Vaughn Mills mall on the outskirts of Toronto just today (Jan.27) BIG, beautiful crowd of happy, upbeat ,peaceful Canadian patriots out there to support our truckers, and to take our rights back that our governments had NO right to take in the first place !! !
