From a trucker with 32 years of experience, this documentary is right on point.
I ran during the old days. 3.5 million miles, times were rough then but now I do not how you can do it and give your family just what they need. Its hard work and long hours. God Bless you guys for bringing all my needs
@Hello Augustus how are you doing

Hello Augustus how are you doing
America gives thanks to literally everyone but truck drivers. American soldiers may have fought for our freedom but truck drivers keep us alive. America!
The reference to American soldiers is irrelevant to truck drivers. They just simply don't compare but kudos to the truck drivers...
Truck Drivers...
But the hardship of trucking still doesn't compare to the hardship of what are troops go through.
Well in that case, yes they are both equal. A truck drives chooses trucking as their job/career knowing the hardships it entails. Are members in the armed forces choose that as their job/career but where the difference comes in is what they do for a living. A truck driver drives around all day. Are troops, I’m sure you know are different. As I said in the comments I appreciate our truckers and I do think they are under appreciated. But the work they do does not compare to the work are troops do.
compare that to our troops
Think about this..
Without truckers, we wouldn't be a nation worth protecting.
Man these guys deserve much more respect.
Thanks to all the truckers who keeps the country running.
Jacek was my favorite of all of them. No negativity no whining , nothing. Just full on happy to be alive, happy to have the wheels beneath him and the diesel in his tanks. Rest of them and and alot of drivers these days could take a lesson from him. Roll on jacek
dueltruck700 I've met some amazing people from Poland, Germany, Russia when I was driving years ago.
Fabulous experience. Honest hard working people.

I drove an old Diamond T in 1945 with an ole contiental engine, the trucking world has changed a lot more from what can imagine. They have great looking trucks, I don't know how they survive with the fuel cost, in 1941 I was paying 5 cents a gallon for gasoline. Keep up the great work truckers.
I enjoyed the documentary. Truck drivers are the backbone of this country. We should never lose that focus. Trucking has its peaks and valleys, as with any profession, but it is highly noble and it keeps our economy moving. Travel safe out there, drivers. Safety first and always. 10-4 -Jim
This movie was made in 2008, and of course I-35 in Oklahoma is still under construction today...
I agree, I hate going to Oklahoma, every highway is under construction for 15 years at least.
Really?? I walked from okc to norman ok, and it was under construction... in 2006
seems as if one person works and everyone else watches during road construction
Can
...i worked for Sitton-Motor-Lines-''out of Joplin-MO....I-44...into OKLAHOMA*City TRUCK STOP was also a ...mess...!!...
In loving memory of Richard Henderson, I thank all you truckers for all you do. Richard used to always tell me he hated what he referred to as 90 day wonders, screwing everything up for the real professionals. Richard had 2 million accident free miles in his career as a truck driver. A pretty impressive feat even by todays standards. Once again, for all you professional truckers, you keep America moving, I thank you, and America thanks you! Merry Christmas, and may you be kept safe, at any time you are away from your families back home. Keep on Trucking! MJ from western Colorado.
Watching this film in Feb 2022 has a very special meaning. Praise to the Truckers! You all keep the world going! Thank you a Million!
After watching this documentary/Movie, I have an unbelievable amount of respect for all our truckers!!! God Bless Them All For What They Do!!
Total respect to the drivers. I can't believe I did this for 3 years. I still don't know how I did it. To those who keep doing this, God Bless you!!
There's no god to bless anyone. If you don;t like the road and driving it is probably not a job for you
Thanks Doug for sharing "Big Rig" with us. I'm a retired Trucker from Ireland and my one regret is never having had the opportunity to drive in the US but your Documentary gave me the grand Tour in the driving seat which I really enjoyed and listening to the Drivers stories was an added bonus.
I wish all you Lads and Ladies safe Driving and be careful out there.

Thank God for trucking..22 years in and it has been a true blessing in my life!
One of the BEST movies about real America and it's real people I have ever seen. You have hit the nail right on the head. Just a GREAT movie. THANK YOU !!!! God Bless the truckers. I am Inspired !!!
@Hello Joe how are you doing
I earned my CDL in 2014 after 20 years in construction, this was one of the first films I found on Trucking, and in 2024, it still holds up.
Yup got mine march 2014 and have almost 900000 miles
Old truckers never die, they just get a new Peterbilt 😉
Kenworth W900!!!😁
Jack, they should have given him way more time in the documentary, such a positive guy,
Truckers the world over do a great job. Respect to you all!
I've always had a respect for truckers and now I have all the more.I was a little surprised that female truckers are disrespected. Women already proved themselves. Great video. Thanks for the posting.

Been driving over 30 years and now done. I really enjoyed watching this!!
Yup. Me too. Heart attack recently has changed my life....for the better. No more striving to please the boss. My time now. Good luck to you all.
Thank you for 90 minutes of superb and insightful entertainment. Well made, nicely soundtracked, and never laborious. A bit shout to all truckers from England! Respect.
I just graduated from trucking school at age 43. I got my CDL two days ago and am looking to start driving either this week or the week following Christmas. The experiences I've had with truck drivers, so far, are good ones. The truckers I know love their country and know that they play a huge role in keeping the country running. I look at my future in trucking as a way I will be able to serve my nation.
I'm a 17 year old female and am looking to join the military after high school as an 88M (Motor Transport Operator). I used to ride with my dad in his truck over the road when I was younger and I loved it. If I end up joining and liking the MOS I would gladly be a trucker in the civilian world when I get out!
***** Right. I expect to pay my dues with any job I have to show my worth, and I'll be happy to do that!
Would love to see a big rig 2!
They are tryna make it but the film crew is getting bogged down from elogs.
truck drivers take a lot of heat doing what they do everyday to
bring us the things we need I solute you ALL for your service.
so true mate so true. I mean America aint the only country that has relied on trucks and the trucking industry. Truck drivers have done a lot of great service for other countries such as Australia, UK and other countries were trucks and the trucking industry has had time to expand to. So indeed kudos and amen to all those amazing truck drivers that work their asses off to bring all of us the essentials that we all need aswell as luxuries and entertainment goods we all enjoy Truckers my kudos goes out to all you blokes out there in America and all other countries that have relied on trucks.
I thank God everyday for the ability to drive my truck safely up and down the highway as well as my fellow safe drivers.
I spent 35+ years of my life in a rig and believe me when I tell you that it's a life style, not just a job. Folks think it's an easy life and truckers make a bundle but it's not like that anymore, or at least not when I retired in 2010. When I started driving back in 1979, I hauled coal in the tri-state area of OH, PA & WV just to get the feel of local and freeway running until I felt comfortable enough for the open road and after 4 years of local running I took a job with an O/O who eventually sold me one of his trucks and from that point on I went independent
When the cost of fuel started going thru the roof and maintenance cost got out of hand, I leased my truck to another driver and I began driving for a pretty good outfit out of Cedar Rapids where I worked also as a trainer for them for a year & a half until I crawled out of the sleeper birth one night late and the gal I was training was rolling along at 70 mph with fog so thick you couldn't even see to the end of the headlight beams and I about killed her! That ended my days as a trainer and finally I finished my last 5 years in the business working for an outfit out of San Diego, CA as their Safety Director and Director of Training which was a pretty sweet job. I had a nice cushy desk job, driving a new company p/u, wearing some real nice looking tailored suits but I loved it because I was still around the rigs.
I always thought I would miss it like crazy when it was coming close to retirement time for me simply because it was all I knew and even though I did miss it for a short time, recalling those nasty winters running the northern corridor and up into Canada all those years the missing soon faded and I've been enjoying my retirement ever since. Oh, I still read my huge library of OTR magazines and I'm sure some recall that great trucker's magazine "Overdrive" that had the "Model of the Month" contest which I entered a few times and twice actually made it in the magazine with 1st place one year and 3rd place another year. I still build my stash of the nice "old school" AMT and ERTL model kits for the rigs & trailers so I guess the trucking never really leaves us after all, lol. Great little flick, thanks for the upload.
All I wanted to do since gradeschool , I fell in love with them trucks , and a lifestyle portrayed in all them old truckin albums just shut up in my room , lisrening and dreaming. I will miss driving truck till my last breath , but not ALL the rules , regs , cost , and stupidity thats grown worse every year , no sir. Theres a pattern that started years ago , and trucking was not immune. Everytime theres a good job that might let you get ahead of the game a little , that you dont mind doing. Someone will ALWAYS find a way to ruin it in the name of making it better and progression.. salute drivers , and God Bless.
I cannot wait to get out there. Every time I think about it the more anxious I am to go. The road is calling my name
It's a shame some dudes have to be disrespectful to women. Cool to see women truckers.
CycleCruza I enjoy your channel CC! Drive truck for a living. Pay cash for everything now. Currently ride 07 GSXR 1k. My old Honda RC51 was my favorite.
jon-paul cooper Thanks! Awesome! You are smart to avoid loans and debt. Nice bike! Have fun riding!
...''What's Cooler to see is ""Woman & Her Baby Sister DRIVING ...120 inch sleeper and OWNER-OPERATORS ...still not sure what they was ''Hauling''...!!...you go-Girls''...
My mom was one of the best truck drivers in the 80's before women really started driving trucks.
and now woman golfers ?
Ever since I was a little boy, ive loved these trucks, the way they sound, the way they looked on the open road. I always saw them on the highway with their lights turned on latenight with my favorite music on its a magical feeling arriving to a different city. Ive always thought of this as a fun job.
Interesting documentary about truckers. My brother is a retired trucker. God bless the truckers!
I'd much rather be a truck driver than anything else
...i just have one QUESTION about that "'Momma"' wanted me to be FIREFIGHTER-FIREMAN''...Daddy-wanted me to learn ''Masondry''...Drive those BiG--LUMBER--TRUCKS-"' & BUILD HOUSES like they did back in the day ......so i GUESS i pretty much forfilled everybody's DREAM when i RE-TURNED HOME FROM ...""VietNAM''...Took to TRUCKING and was PULLING OVER-SIZED-LOADS ""T's"'-and MOBILE-HOMES:: so now is everybody ''Happy''...!!...
Ok
Same here
Same here man. Been driving for two years now and can't see myself doing anything else.
Are you feeling ok?
I just want to say thank you to all of the truck drivers that are out on the road every day. After watching this movie my eyes were opened and opened wide.
Thank You to all the hard working truck drivers throughout the world. The trucks are truly amazing. Thank You again.
this was so well made.
"Hey, if you like me, you like me. If you don't, it didn't matter." haha quote of the movie right there

love that husband and wife group. they've both got great attitudes. sure he made a mistake, and shes forgiven him. as one says during marriage ceremony, " for richer, or pooer, better or worse til death do us part" theyre living that. and GOD bless all of you on the road. what you do, ( what I did) keeps America, and the world afloat.
Thanks for that comment whomever you are
Great documentary, good production, nice tunes, well worth a watch
I'm not a trucker nor American.
But I love these story's. Great docu film .great music on board too
As a trucker whos been doing this for a year this is awesome documentary
amazing doc. thank you and god bless to all the truckers and their families~
Good storytelling, good sound track, great editing!
I am still driving the greatest job in the world you get to see the world for free and meet different people and make a difference in some people's eyes when you meet them I've been driving for 16 years now and I thank God keep me going and I love Pennsylvania and Laredo Texas
This was really good.
You pulled on my heart strings
Thank You brothers and sisters for your sacrifice 🙏
I'll probably never get too into driving, but damn it makes me proud and brings years to my eyes to know I'm going to be buildin these monsters and helping men like this.
100000% respect to all truck drivers, always have and always will.
Just signed myself up to take classes to learn this awesome trade, can't wait.
Hello Joseph how are you doing
love claude's outlook on life
UK truck driver here....just found this movie looking forward to watching it.
I fell in love with Buck 65's music because of this film. I drive a tank yanker in the Texas oilfields and there ain't no money in it out here either. I mean $50,000 for a first year driver really is way above average. But there are just too many trucks out here now, not enuff work for all of them and the cost of living is absolutely outrageous! So 50 grand really felt like 20 in any other town with a reasonable cost of living.
Man this is like 2008 and these guys were bitching about DOT regulations, fuel prices and the lack of respect towards drivers. Fast forward to 2023 and drivers are still bitching about the same issues but things are much worse now, especially the DOT regulations. At least back then truckers still had some freedoms, such as paper logs and not having a camera in your face while driving.
I work for stop&shop so i respect the truck drivers helping them back in
to the loading dock and they respect me so keep up the good work
and stay safe
Watching your video brings back memories I have been. where you go 28 years holding a wheel you show safe driving I had6
I had 6 heartattacks and had to hang it up I was an old school driver give me a shoutout
@Hello James how are you doing
This movie gets it. I LOVE it
this is a deceptively beautiful film. lets all keep truckin as the family of mankind.
1004?
This was really good. I wish I could find more things like this on UA-cam.
the good times when u could smoke in a restaurant. God Bless Our Truckers. Breaker Breaker 1-9
There are still a few truck stops that allow it. Mainly in the south. Been to a few in missouri.
plus the truck stops that have casino's but less and less truck stops are stopping smoking inside
10-4 good buddy I have smokey on my back door you have a good one buddy
It's been a couple years since I've been there, but I believe there's a Petro east of Kansas City that allows it.
...@ JERSEY-CiTy-''TRUCKSTOP""...Layover there i sit and smoked ...but i don't believe it was ''cigarette '''WE-WAS-SMOKING""...get my drift...LoL-''''gotta-go''...'''D.O.T.'''-...may be LISTENING""...!!...
Hell of a Movie. A Birdseye view of the USA from a Trucking perspective.
Thank you, Mr. Truck Driver.
iv just about tried every job out there and can't physically pull of hard labor so I'm gana b driving truck within the next month
well how'd it go? did you make it?

+bred white The song is called Pokolenie, by "Kombi".
This movie was really cool. Grate job. I liked the shots throughout the movie , and the why it ended ...
I just found this what a documentary , am shocked 240p looks so good
Excellent movie, enjoyed it immensely. Great insight into a truckers lifestyle.
I did long haul trucking for about 2 months. I was going to college, got my associates and was bored and didn't want to spend another 2 years getting a bachelors degree that I wasn't really interested in. So I dropped out of college and went to a trucking school spent 3 grand and than started working for a major trucking company. I hated trucking so I went back to college and am now getting a bachelors degree. Wish I would have just stuck with the trucking thing. But I have to learn the hard way
the first talking part in very damn true those trucks don't move we don't get or have shit
I'd love to see an update since the industry has gotten worse for the drivers the past 14 years.
Thanks Uploader, Every American needs to view this documentary, African American, Native American, Immigrant born alike, I Love this video
It's so sad that only people new to America appreciate it.
🗣Thanks again for uploading these great 👍Movies 🎥🍿 Another Great 👍 Movie🎥 🗣”Big Rig“🎥🍿🗣Long-haul truckers talk about life on the road and how increasing fuel costs and government regulations are leading to the decline of independent haulers.
🎥 I HAVE SEEN ALOT OF TRUE STORIES♥️I AM A LOVER OF TRUE STORIES♥️I ENJOY WATCHING MY MOVIE 🎥 GREAT 👍 CAST♥️MRS. DELOACH🎥🍿♥️
i never became a truck driver but i am just lucky to have a decent job i would still love to be a truck driver i still to this day love seeing big rigs my friends like giving me crap when i see one i like and call it sexy honestly i like checking out trucks as much as like checking out chicks this was a great movie and i give anyone credit to do a job like this and it upsets me to hear that independent trucking is ending keep up the good work and be safe
Great documentary, Bear has the right way of thinking. Good ole American blue collar man.
well, it used to be fun, now I think we follow rules and regulations just for the sake of following rules and regulations. thank the Lord I work for myself, I just work when I want to work
@Hello Brown how are you doing
Like This Video, people don't realize this is the heart and soul of America right here.
"Buck 65" music is badass in this movie..
hmmm that was a cool movie. God bless those truckers !!!
Lady bug is hot in a weird way.
Backbone of this country. Look out for your truckers and your bikers folks. Be the good guy on the highway always.
Have y'all thought about what these trucker are doing now ???
...WELL i/m finally RE-TIRED"' THANK YOU VERY MUCH ...but as for those other 5500...others ...i believe they are sitting in ''cubicle somewhere '''...
Yup.. We need update
that trucker at 33:00 is the real phantom 309 holy smoke what a ride
Respect to all truckers
Been there, done that, retired, don't miss it 😊
Old saying "IF YOU GOT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT" 1971 thur 2002 retired trucker 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
"No lot lizards" 😂😂 loved this, thinking about trucking and wanted to see what its really like
Man have times changed! Trucking just isn’t what it used to be.
So too add to this great movie i was a otr trucker for almost 30 years and it sure has changed as of late
Back in the day i did a massive amount of nose candy and i drove all night ! I put it to bed as the sun was comin up for a few hours , i quit it to raise my son but man did that go bad , i miss the road !
The "haters" as you call them might have issues with the movie other than what a truckers does on a daily basis. Just because someone gave a Thumbs Down on something does not mean they dislike the people shown in the movie.
You are not a Thinker... are you? No, I did not think so...
I respect these old school truckers. I'm here with Garmin and GPS. I can look up closest truck stop or washout. Plus automatic transmission. Listening to podcast in ac. Electronic logbook. I basically punch in and out. I get alarms if my reefer is out of temp range.
Great Documentary!
GOD BLESS ALL TRUCK DRIVERS THEY MOVE AMERICA ❤❤
I live for today. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow never comes
Hammer down: you did good. My life 2,500,000 miles worth. Excellent ❤
100 haters make this movie better and better. Those haters do NOT have a clue what a trucker goes through on a daily basis.
long live the Kings and Queens of the Road the Big Rigs and their drivers
Just now seeing this video. Now I can't put it down.
We don't say the n word but he had the nerve to call the white people crackers?? Wtf
24:50 Never seen such an onramp on a German Autobahn. Very dangerous
The particular interchange you are talking about is in Memphis, Tennessee, going east bound out of Memphis going towards Nashville, Tennessee. It is not that bad of an interchange really, in my 21 years of driving a truck, I have seen many interchanges that are worse. I am not saying this is a normal interchange, but it isn't really dangerous.
Derek Walker
I am trucking all over Europe for now 29 years. All onramps are from the right in Germany, never from the left.
But the most idiotic traffic system I have ever seen is the Magic roundabout in Swindon, UK.
Call Google Earth, then fill in Swindon magic roundabout, and zoom please! There are two more such roundabouts in the UK. This system is the "Non plus ultra " of the British road system. I can't explain how this system works, but one look is worth a thousand words.
