In a Kenworth pullin' logs
Cab-over Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin' hogs
We is headin' for bear on I-one-oh
'Bout a mile outta Shaky Town
I says, "Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck.
"And I'm about to put the hammer down."

This is a cab-over-engine (aka flat-faced) Peterbilt tractor with a refrigerated trailer.
I've been humming that ever since I saw the title. I'm not done, I just had to see if I was right, or if I was going to mess myself up by aiming for a semi, or even a convoy.#3: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jun 17, 2018 [SPOILER]
Hadn't heard that song in ages. I didn't have a CB but I know a lot of people who did. Beautifully done.#4: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jun 17, 2018 [SPOILER]
I've heard the song, but I never paid attention to the lyrics. I know the spoof version better.#5: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Jun 18, 2018 [SPOILER]

Nice truck.#6: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jun 18, 2018 [SPOILER]
To show my age, I'd never heard the Car Phone parody from 1990 (when I had a 4-yr-old and no radio reception). I also heard the original when it was new in 1975. I was only 8 but my oldest sister's future husband was very into CBs. (His handle was Aardvark because of his prominent nose.)
I hadn't heard it for ages. I didn't remember the chorus being so...falsetto? Or breathy, maybe.
I had to try a few truck pictures to find one that didn't completely turn into mush at this resolution. It still had to be a bigger puzzle than I usually like, tho.
