September 10-16 marks National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, where the entire trucking industry celebrates the millions of drivers who deliver goods across the country.

The Minnesota Trucking Association (MTA) and American Trucking Associations (ATA) are coming together this week to ask for support and recognition of 3.5-million-plus professional truck drivers. These hardworking people are responsible for transporting over 11.5 billion tons of product, which 80% of U.S. communities solely depend on.

For the Coffee Break, we’re gonna pay homage to all the truck drivers out there by playing songs that talk about being on the road, driving across the country, and just truckin’ in general.

For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, which songs that highlight truckers and/or being on the road do you want to hear?
