One I didn't see mentioned is "Wolf Creek Pass."

Lin never cared much for it until we moved from Seattle area back to Kansas. I had about 4,000 lb inside the van and was towing the camper/popup (about 3,500 lb). She towed a Uhaul trailer that had about 3,800 lb in it, behind her little purple toytruck Chevy S10 (about 3200 lb GVW).

Shortly after we got to the bottom of the pass, she said "I appreciate that one a lot more now."

It's a "comic song" but with a lot of truth in it, and I can assure you that the 18-wheelers (& the 22s) don't care much for that particular bit of highway.

A little more light-hearted comic song, that may reflect the "loneliness of the long haul" if you think about it some, was called - I think - "The Girl on the Billboard," or something similar.

As to a complaint above that "it ain't Country," from the "lone rider" with his ass in the saddle for long hard lonely hours to putting your ass 9 feet up in the seat of a rig isn't really much of a switch. The bull herder's just a bull hauler now. The rig likely has air conditioning, but it won't take you home by itself if you take a nap on the job, so the hazards are a little different, but it's a lot of the same kinds of people with similar "cultures."
