John Schneider is paying tribute to the faithful truckers who have kept the country going during the pandemic with his new single “Truck On.” The song is the title track from his upcoming new album, which was inspired by the Southern rock songs Schneider grew up on, and is slated for release on April 2.
The video for “Truck On” premiered last week and features scenes from Schneider’s most recent film, Stand On It, an action-comedy movie made in tribute to the 1977 classic, Smokey and The Bandit. The film was produced through Schneider’s company and was written and directed by him to include the signature tongue-in-cheek charm from both Smokey and The Bandit and Dukes of Hazzard. The video also includes a car chase reminiscent of Schneider’s countless races through the infamous Hazzard County during his Bo Duke days.
A portion of sales from “Truck On” will benefit St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund, a nonprofit that helps over-the-road/regional semi-truck drivers and their families who are out of work due to a recent illness or injury. Assistance includes household living expenses such as rent/mortgage, utilities, vehicle payments, and insurance. The SCF also provides health and wellness programs such as free vaccines and smoking cessation.
