    This is based on a true story in terms of the crash but the driver of the truck carrying 4600 gallons of fuel was named Pete not big Joe and he died in a fire after the truck hit the guard rail at the overpass instead of hitting the bus full of kids it takes a brave person to sacrifice themselves for the safety of others like this driver did

    When you listen to "Teddy Bear", that song has a major tissue warning!!!
    I sometimes laugh at the line "In the seat is a big man, he weighs about 210", not quite that big for today.

    Written by Tommy Faile - who has the best version - 1970.
    Written based on a true story of John "Pete" Trudele who made the ultimate sacrifice in 1963.
    Pete was traveling from Boston to New Hampshire with a full tanker truck.
    A school bus was stopped in the middle of the road and he had but seconds to make his choice.
    He aimed away from the school bus towards the bridge abutment.
    In his last seconds, he must have known his fate, as he aimed away from the bus.
    The scene was a fiery hell-hole - which claimed his, and the life of another man, but saved the kids on the bus.
    A plaque is written in his hometown; “Greater love hath no man than this … To lay down one’s life for his fellow man.”
    The oldest son of John "Pete" Trudele" is Joe.. Perhaps the naming of Big Joe and Phantom 309

    I'm a truck driver.. been driving for 8 years. My dad was a truck driver too. He use to tell me a story similar to this. He said back in the '80s, a friend of his drove a truck as well, and he was up in the mountains in West Virginia and was coming down a 11% grade hill and a activity school bus was broke down on the side of the road, but the driver side wheels was still in the lane, so he got over a little bit to pass them by, but a car was coming the opposite way, a elderly woman was driving it and he didn't have anywhere to go, so he had 3 options. Hit the bus, hit the car or go off the side of the mountain. The mountain had a elevation of more the 3500 ft. So he turned wheel back straight, and barreled through the guardrail and went flying off the side of the mountain. It smashed into the bottom of the mountain and smashed the cab into a big ball of metal, the truck and trailer caught fire as well. By the time rescuers got to him, there was nothing left but a burnt up hollow metal shell of a 18 wheeler. My dad swears its a true story. My grandpa who actually lives up in West Virginia says it happened as well... but that story and this song always gives me the chills...

    This song really hits home to me I was born in 1966 when I was about nine years old my mom left a man who was my father really abusive and a truck driver that we knew as uncle Tom his name was Tom Robinson we called him uncle, because he was always around Because my father was also a truck driver but Tom was a cross country truck driver. He gave my mom when I was nine years old $1000 to help her leave my father so I hear a lot of truck driving songs, teddy bear phantom 309 several others that I can’t think of off the top of my head And they’ve always at home because my father stepfather came to our rescue. Helped my mom until I was about 16 from the time I was 9 to 16. He never asked for anything. He shared his money with my mom to help her. I didn’t know it then, but I do now the whole time he was gay and him and my mom never been intimate or anything.

    I heard this story when I drove 18wheelers. I did not know it was a song for a long time while I was driving Trucks.
    Just from the sound In the singers voice you can tell it is a TRUE STORY!

    Just saw a story on the song. It was inspired by an accident in Massachusetts in 1963 about a tanker truck that swerved to miss a stopped school bus, killing himself. No ghost story but they built a memorial for him. I'm a truck driver myself and I would rather swerve than to hit a school bus.

      My husband was a long haul truck driver, back in the 60s and 70s, a lot of truck stops would give away country music 8 track tapes as gift with purchase of 100 gallons of fuel, He brought home all these 8 tracks.

  • @stevedahlberg8680
    @stevedahlberg8680 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    There are so many fun and hilarious and emotional songs in the trucking music genre. Red Sovine is known for his storytelling. He does one called Teddy Bear which is heartbreaking. There is another one called Giddy Up Go that involves a little boy growing up into a man, and then there's a follow-up to it with a woman telling the story from her point of view. Red Simpson, Dave Dudley, Mac Wiseman, Claude Gray, Willis Brothers, the list goes on and on!

  • @paulweston2267
    @paulweston2267 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I have had 44 years behind the wheel. This is before my time even. The way I have heard it, sometime in the early 1950's this happened along route 66 in Missouri. I believe the truck stop is the long-closed Diamonds. It is a legend; I don't suppose there is anyone left alive today that can say whether it is true or not. My mom was a waitress at the garbage can, yeah that was a real place, and they served pretty good food. That is how she heard it.

  • @leewatts5956

    There's a number of ghost story country songs. Not all are scary/bad. You've got ones like this, and The Ride, where they're helping people. And ones like Ghost Riders In The Sky, where they're a warning to straighten up one's behavior. And ones like Wooley Swamp, where they are indeed creepy.

    Id once read a supposedly true story,about a couple who were flagged down by a man standing by a big rig.
    Hw kindly warned them to be careful on that turn,because of the storm. The road got treacherously slick.
    At the truck stop they mentioned the nice man with the truck.
    The waitress told them that a trucker who was the best person in the world,lost his life on that turn,one stormy night.
    Now,when the night is stormy and the roads are slick,people say that they are warned to be careful,by a nice man with a big rig.
    You bet I thought of this record when I read that.

    If that happened to me I'd let everybody know. I remember being an old country house a long time ago at night time. We're told nobody lived in it but it still was a nice house and well taken care of. Me and my other boyfriends that with me enjoy our tour around the house. We come back the next day around 10 a.m. can't find the house it's gone it's nowhere to be found. We find out from people about four miles up the road told us that house burnt down over 40 years ago. I just want to know how did it burn down forty years ago when we were in it and just described every room like it was just in mint condition. So yes I let anybody know I was in a semi like that
