Trucking Song: Phantom 309 - Red Sovine Trucker Tim introduces a classic, yet haunting trucking tune perfect for halloween! This story song is a true story rather than an urban legend. Phantom 309 became popularized when Red Sovine released the song of the same name in 1967. The song is about a ghost truck driver named 'Big Joe', who picks up a hitchhiker, gives him a dime for some coffee on him, and drops him off at a local diner down the road.
