Lawrence Hammond's song "Trucker's Nightmare" from his album "Coyote's Dream" as these lines:
Them ole red veins o a trucker's eyeballs
that's the roadmap of his soul.
Drive a million miles you get a case of the piles
makes you feel like your sittin' on a cactus pole.
But when you been home a week and your ole lady squeeks
cuz your tryin' to downshift her arm in your sleep
you're rollin' down that run called Trucker's Nightmare!

the song also has the lines:

I pray to God and Jimmy Hoffa
"Please, fellas get me offa this rig's
brakes are goin' right down to the floor.

this might be one of the most unusual trucking songs
