The Ultimate Trucker Playlist

Never have a dull ride again!

 

We all know and see those big rigs driving down the highway. You have to wonder where they’ve been, and when’s the last time they were home, how many times a day they get little kids doing the “pull your horn” arm motion and if it actually makes them smile and/or just annoys them…No? Just me? Not going to lie, I definitely encourage my own kids to do it!

 

Well, I would have to think that after driving day after day and night after night, they would have a pretty amazing playlist or some awesome podcasts to recommend. On a recent trip, I found myself struggling on the long drive and my mind was racing a million different ways. So I put on my playlist and realized that it was seriously slacking. When I saw an 18-wheeler pull up beside me, I saw this man jamming out and said to myself, “Self, let’s make us a trucker playlist”. Boom  , that ‘s exactly what I did and I had to share them so you never experience a dull ride again 🙂 . This will FOR SURE keep your spirits high and energy up for any ride that comes your way. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

 

Let’s drive in…..

I hope to have prevented you from having another dull ride on the road. To be honest, even if you are not a truck driver, you would love this playlist. Nothing better than mixing a little old school tunes with a little new age ones!
