Great song. The story is about the virtues of sacrifice. It's almost a biblical them. I recall an old WWII movie. Think Robert Mitchum was lead actor. At the end the a Japanese pilot was about to bomb the shit out of Mitchum's young family but suddenly a Catholic priest fires up the truck on a suicide run. The Japanese gunner destroys the priest and his truck then flies off. Thinking that his work is done. And with the enemy gone Mitchum takes his family to safety.

But you fo realize the folks that sing about truck drivers never drove a truck, right? Honestly I don't think too much of drivers today. I started driving in '86 and in the seventies learned how to twin stick in a bad ass Freight shaker that you literally had to climb into the sleeper. Still know how to twin stick and climbed doghouse into a sleeper. Walking were a luxury and I hate condo's. And... I will cut my own through before I would ever drive an automatic. I own many times over a 78 K100 big bunk flat top with a now 18 speed tranny. Can't put a 6×4 Spicer in in a cabover. Not enough room. But if it had a hood I would damn sure have a hole cut out. My truck originally had a 365 Kitty Cat in front of a 15 speed. Still got the deep reduction switch for looks though on the dash. The only difference is I can split the bottom and top ends instead of just the top. So hard to keep the truck original now. The steering wheel is a hard plastic Beige thee spoke. That is even special order. Even the high low switch has to be special ordered. Always park where the lot lizards are on "partyrow" 'cause all the curb sniffer drivers can't walk that far. Right? Before anyone ever goes out and rescues an older truck think insurance. A 78 K100 is just a 78 K100 no matter how much money you dump into it. You can fight Swift's insurance company if you wanna try but you won't win if your truck is totalled out by them. Insurance is a tax write off. So insurance it. I have dumped probably estimating 700 thousand dollars in this truck to keep it like new not to mention 100 thousand on a 15 thousand dollar purchase. I pay extra insurance. I probably love my truck as much as I love my wife. My wife is 50 and my truck looks brand new. Thank God I am old because it's getting harder and harder to keep her looking like new. But she's like me. The interior is the original KW high end diamond tuck even the doghouse. Harder and harder to find upholstered to keep it original nowdays.

I know the daughter of the truck driver that saved those kids..she was just tellin me the story because I asked her why she had a pin of a dime on her badge. She told me the whole story. She told me to listen to the song Phantom 309, because it was about her father. So I came to listen to the song myself. And I almost cried. When you really know the story from someone related to the one in the song, it hits real deep. God bless you “Big Joe” for saving those children in the cost of your own life. ♥️ may you rest in peace 🌹

when i was about 10 , me and my mom were driving down the highway and we came over a hill and traffic was stopped . a 18 wheeler was next to us doing 65mph atleast and as soon as he seen the cars were stopped , he hit the exit that was on his right. there was no doubt that he was going to flip when he swerved onto that exit and he knew it was going to when he swerved. the truck flipped as soon as the exit curved and i swear the truck was still sliding when i saw the door fly open and the driver climbing out. it amazed me and i knew that that man saved alot of lives when he took that exit and he did it knowing that it was no gonna go well for him. he was a hero in my eyes.

I am glad you are hear listening to some real music about real folks. I grew up on this music as my dad was a truck driver that could drive everything from long haul, log truck, and local. I love this music and like most of you that are here, I miss my dad who taught me to be a man and appreciate what we have. Miss you dad.

I love this Trucking music so much as a hitchhiker through seven different countries that's not a joke and a lot of Truckers my dad was a trucker now this what I enjoy cuz I'm stuck in bed with peripheral neuropathy a couple beers some pizza and some good Tunes God bless you all

I grow up on this type music, and it still sends a chill.

Red, was one of the best story tellers in the history of country music as far as I'm concerned!

Hello how are you doing jd

I drove cross country from Virginia to California in a Uhaul. Bad move story for another day. I put in 1,000 miles a day. I would rarely stop. One night flipping through the radio stations around 2am this song came on and tripped me out.....LOL

Hello how are you

I lay in my sleeper of my W900L and after 33 years of living out here on the road. I listen to this song that I have listen to as a young man. I say to myself where did all the years and miles go . Hopefully my spirit will keep rolling down the highways and back roads of this great country we call America after I'm gone . God Bless America and all the Truck Drivers of our great country.

prayers for you and yours !

I was out on the West Coast, tryin' to make a buck And things didn't work out, I was down on my luck Got tired a-roamin' and bummin' around So I started thumbin' back East, toward my home town. Made a lot of miles, the first two days And I figured I'd be home in week, if my luck held out this way But, the third night I got stranded, way out of town At a cold, lonely crossroads, rain was pourin' down. I was hungry and freezin', done caught a chill When the lights of a big semi topped the hill Lord, I sure was glad to hear them air brakes come on And I climbed in that cab, where I knew it'd be warm. At the wheel sit a big man, he weighed about two-ten He stuck out his hand and said with a grin "Big Joe's the name", I told him mine And he said: "The name of my rig is Phantom 309." I asked him why he called his rig such a name He said: "Son, this old Mack can put 'em all to shame There ain't a driver, or a rig, a-runnin' any line Ain't seen nothin' but taillights from Phantom 309." Well, we rode and talked the better part of the night When the lights of a truck stop came in sight He said: "I'm sorry son, this is as far as you go 'Cause, I gotta make a turn, just on up the road." Well, he tossed me a dime as he pulled her in low And said: "Have yourself a cup on old Big Joe." When Joe and his rig roared out in the night In nothin' flat, he was clean out of sight. Well, I went inside and ordered me a cup Told the waiter Big Joe was settin' me up Aw!, you coulda heard a pin drop, it got deathly quiet And the waiter's face turned kinda white. Well, did I say something wrong? I said with a halfway grin He said: "Naw, this happens every now and then Ever' driver in here knows Big Joe But son, let me tell you what happened about ten years ago. At the crossroads tonight, where you flagged him down There was a bus load of kids, comin' from town And they were right in the middle, when Big Joe topped the hill It could have been slaughter, but he turned his wheel. Well, Joe lost control, went into a skid A nd gave his life to save that bunch-a kids And there at that crossroads, was the end of the line For Big Joe and Phantom 309 But, every now and then, some hiker'll come by And like you, Big Joe'll give 'em a ride Here, have another cup and forget about the dime Keep it as a souvenir, from Big Joe and Phantom 309!"

It's 2021 and this song still gets to me

A good song makes you feel something.i remember the first time I heard this song I was shedding tears.thank you red sovine

My Daddy was not a Trucker but he stayed in touch with many. Daddy was a steel mill worker who cooked for the workers. When he would happen to be home he and I (sunshine) would spend time on the CB talking with Great men and some women for hour's. A great memory thanks for it Trucker's and Dad!!!

Hello --

This song reminds me of my Brother n Law Jerry who went straight into a concrete embankment to above a drive who pulled out in front of him a station wagon full of kids .. took 3 hours to get him out of the Truck !! We almost lost him but Jerry pulled through !! Thanks to the Drs in South bend Indiana

My dad taught me about this music 40+ years ago, he hauled heavy equipment, between him and his brothers, there wasn't a machine they couldn't haul or run. Rest easy dad, Big Bill Woods, and all the Woods' brothers, George, John, Ritchie, Jimmy, Bobby and Ronnie, miss all of you

I grew up loving and riding in big riggs with my brother in law he was one of the best men in my life later on I married a trucker and he himself put his own life at risk to save another, the other driver lived as did my husband I'm proud to be a truckers wife and I have to admit every single time he's on the road I pray guardian angels surround his rig. Every time I hear this song it gives me chills and makes me cry for the big guy

You thank your husband from another gear hammer... I was a long haul driver for several yrs until the company closed up one summer day ( anybody remember Consolidated Freight ) The Mrs asked me to plz consider something other then driving ( understandable it's hard on marriages) so I thought about my hobby and passion and started repairing cars and still do even though I'm retired.
