Trucking industry in popular culture (United States)
The portrayal of the trucking industry in United States popular culture spans the depictions of trucks and truck drivers, as images of the masculine side of trucking are a common theme. The portrayal of drivers ranges from the heroes of the 1950s, living a life of freedom on the open road, to the depiction of troubled serial killers of the 1990s. Songs and movies about truck drivers were first popular in the 1940s, and mythologized their wandering lifestyle in the 1960s. Truck drivers were glorified as modern day cowboys, outlaws, and rebels during the peak of trucker culture in the 1970s. During the latter portion of the 20th century, the trucking industry's image began to wane, and their reputation suffered.

He has been best friends with Rigby ever since childhood, and together they are very lazy and constantly slack off at their jobs there.

Giddyup Go
"Giddyup Go" is a country music song made famous by Red Sovine. Released in 1965, the song was the title track to Sovine's album released that same year. A recitation paying homage to the American truck driver, "Giddyup Go" was Sovine's second No. 1 hit, spending six weeks atop the "Billboard magazine" Hot Country Singles chart in January and February 1966. Truck-driving songs had been a part of American country music since the late 1940s, and Sovine's label Starday Records had several artists who specialized in the subgenre. It didn't take until 1965 when Sovine—at the time, absent from the country music charts for nine years—finally found his niche.
