Starring Frank Converse and Claude Akins as truck drivers.

Theme Song (sung by Merle Haggard):
Big wheels rollin', big wheels rollin'
Movin' on.
Big wheels rollin', gotta keep 'em goin,
Big wheels rollin',
Movin' On.

The white line is the life line to a nation.
And men like Will and Sonny make it move.
Livin' like a gypsy, always on the go,
Doin' what they best know how to do.

Jammin' gears has got to be a fever,
'Cause men become addicted to the grind.
It takes a special breed to be a truck drivin' man,
And a steady hand to pull that load behind.

Big wheels rollin', big wheels rollin'
Movin' on.
Big wheels rollin', gotta keep 'em goin,
Big wheels rollin',
Movin' On.
THE SHOW WAS PRESIDENT GERALD FORD,S FAVOURITE TV SHOW AND HE MET THE CAST FOR A CHAT DURING ONE OF THEIR LOCATION FILMING SESSIONS.

I too, loved this show and I eventually DID become a trucker. This show was, in part, my inspiration for living my childhood dream of becoming a female truckdriver.
