"I just passed a Jimmy and a White."  The Jimmy is a GMC (General Motors division) brand of truck and the White refers to a White Freight-liner brand of truck.

this is how country should be. hauling ass in a semi truck. for f*cks sake, what happened?

[cuthbertallgood711]

ICC meaning Interstate Commerce Commission. Est. in the US in via Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 to regulate rail freight and then eventually trucking. The driver in this song is "gonna dodge all the scales all right!" meaning he's not stopping at a weigh station to sync his "log book" with the records. Its a means of checking cargo to stop drug trafficking, human trafficking, and unregulated or illegal shipping.

ICC was the old Interstate Commerce Commission, it no longer exists. The functions of the ICC have been taken over by the DOT (Department of Transportation) ICC was responsible for enforcing federal trucking regulations.

Incrível a facilidade que Dave Dudley canta...

[Laura Curtiss Palmer]

He'd be my back up and we'd play guitars together. I'd be so nervous but he'd calm me down and tell me I was doing great (not great by any means but fun :o). I felt so bad when I found out he'd passed and wishing I'd gotten back in touch with him after moving out here as I have with many of the others I'd grown up around. Great guy! My mom got to see him a last time when he performed in Seattle. They visited after the show. So glad she got to see him.

I am originally from Duluth MN and my mom and friends knew Dave from being around or in the country music business. Being raised around all this myself I ended up hanging around many of them when I was a young adult. After retiring from performing one of them bought a tavern in Cloquet MN and every sunday we'd have what is now Karaoke only with real instruments. Every once in a while Dave would stop in when he wasn't on the road.
