April 2016 | Overdrive | 49 The record has been long in the making, notes hazmat hauler and sing- er-songwriter Bill Weaver of Flippin, Ark. He's been at this songwriting thing for years and has made a bit more of a name for himself among truckers recently following the advance release via Overdrive of the fi nal mix of the song "I'm Rollin'." That fi rst track on the new record showcases the Marshall Tucker- meets-Lynyrd Skynyrd Southern rock that he and his band, made up of longtime collaborators, have honed to a tee over years of playing together. What's more, with Weaver, as with some other trucker/singer-songwriters making waves of late (notably Tony Justice), there's always an authentic story behind the trucking songs. In Overdrive's podcast talk with Weav- er, published in February, he takes listeners on a tour through four album tracks, including "I'm Rollin'," a joyous celebration of departure as the beginning of the way back home, the "We Drive On" dirge and the nicely sarcastic and wildly funny "Mr. D.O.T."
