Years ago, I was in labor with my first child and my dad was driving me & hubby 100 miles to the nearest hospital. He got on the C.B. and before I knew it we were being escorted by what seemed like “a thousand screaming trucks.” I certainly was preoccupied but those wonderful men and women got us there safely and with more “congratulations” than I’ve ever heard, before or since. I still see every big rig captain as my own personal heroes. Thank you, Truckers ❤

My much older brother, Bill, who passed away in 2015, had been a trucker for almost 20 years when he got me into CB radio as a teenager in 1973. When this song came out in '76 I was dumbfounded because the handle he had run back and forth across the country with for more than a decade was...you got it...Rubber Duck! RIP Big Brother. You may have gone 10-7 but you are still loved and missed very much.

Big O Truckin John Boy. What a time when the Waltons was on TV, and this was on the Movie Screen. My uncle took a bunch of us kids to see this movie. I think I was about 9. I can relate because I had no idea what a Convoy was. However, I had heard CB talk since birth. I had a T-shirt said, "What's You 20?" Finally, I learned what it meant about the 5th time I wore it. CB's were a bit of a fad but were used in real life by trucks and out on farms 🚜 .. No cell phones back then, and you had to be within a few miles of each other Lots of static and very hard to understand. Most of the time, I couldn't. Honestly, I don't know how they learned all that. Then, it faded away... nearly all gone.

I just read of Mr. McCall's death. I absolutely love this song--I guess you could say its one of my guilty pleasures. My Dad was a long haul truck driver all of his adult life. When this song came out, I was in elementary school and my Dad would take me with him several times during my summer vacations. Of course, my Dad had a CB and we'd monitor it while driving. Occasionally, I'd get on and talk to some of the other truckers. I remember hearing this on the radio, and I loved it from the start. Especially because it mentions the "6th of June", which is my birthday. Along with Red Sovine's "Teddy Bear", this song takes me back to those care free days riding along with my Dad. RIP C.W. McCall.

R.I.P. This clip was played in the mid 90s on a show called 70s Flashback. Suzanne Sommers hosted it just about the same time she did Step By Step. And around the time that VH-1 had reruns of The Midnight Special, America Bandstand. Solid Gold and The Sonny & Cher Show. VH-1 ran 70s Flashback from 1994 to 1999. Erik Estrada hosted after Suzanne left but he only did the final season or so. Leif Garrett was also hosting the show sometimes. But mostly Suzanne Sommers hosted. P.S. Per another clip David Cassidy also hosted. And it was renamed 8 Track Flashback. My memory is fading but I used to watch this. I was between 13 and 18. 30 years have passed.

Pop culture is fascinating. I remember this song coming out, and it inspired a gigantic spike in sales and installations of CB radios in cars. It was all the rage for quite a while. Still remember cars with antennas mounted on the front then tied down in back because they were so long. I seem to recall the truckers getting a bit fed up with all the amateurs yacking about nothing on their air space. That aside, CW McCall did a great job with this - both creating and performing. Love his deep bass voice.

@ivanleterror9158 3 жыл бұрын

Those antennas were the 102" whips. I used one and had to be careful not to wipe out the lights at covered gas stations. At the time they were supposed to match the length of radio waves.

it gives the warm fuzzy memories of being a child in the 70s, the CB craze and the Trucker craze with films and tv show like smokey and the Bear. i was very young and my father had just sort of retired from years of working in the military and we were on like a 2 year long road trip living in a Volkswagen van and camping at national parks and things like that, when our van broke down in Oklahoma visiting some family so we settled there and my father got a job at a Truck Stop. this was around 77 and he worked there until his death in 97, he use to take me in to work with him all the time and i grew up around that Truck Stop and all the characters that worked there and drivers that always stopped in to fuel when they were passing through. it was a great childhood and that old 70s AM style country music was always in the background and i would go home and stuff like "The Dukes Of Hazzard" or "Hee Haw" or "Any Which Way But Loose" would be on TV and i felt like i was part of the world, these days it feels like all of Hollywood and most of the country hate normal smalltown country folks like this for no reason.
