OWEN SOUND, ONT — When Today’s Trucking Reader Dwayne Rae of Owen Sound, Ont., saw Today’s Trucking Editor Peter Carter’s list of his 10 favorite Truckin’ Songs, Rae responded with both barrels.
“Why stop at 10,” he asked, “when there are so many great trucking songs out there to choose from?”
In response, Editor Carter conceded. “Clearly, Rae’s on top of this game and his list includes some obvious choices that I overlooked completely. Especially Bud The Spud by Stompin’ Tom. How’d I miss that?”
“Rae is clearly more qualified than me to deal with this important matter,” Carter said. “He wins.”
Below is the final result of Carter's and Rae's collaboration. (It's also the playlist for our fantastic two-hours-and-change YouTube compilation. Give it a listen.)
