Truck Drivin' Man
He has been called ' the last American hero', the man who drives the big rigs across every State in the Union. With his country-style music and even his own radio stations, the trucker has become the mechanised cowboy of the 70s, riding the highways -the free and travelling man.
The story of three truckers and their journey from Portland in Oregon to Phoenix, Arizona. Lead driver Karl Weber says:
