Since Ted Daffan penned Truck Driver's Blues, trucking has been the subject of choice for more than one songriter.
Born in Merryville, Louisiana, Theron Eugene Daffan (September 21, 1912 - October 6, 1996) wrote Truck Driver's Blues, the first hit of the genre. Cliff Bruner recorded the song in 1939 which sold over 100,000 copies. A singer/songwriter, Ted Daffan, was elected to the Nashville Songwriters Foundation Hall of Fame in 1970.
