From classic road anthems and country favourites to pub rock, hard rock, pop, blues and a few unexpected singalong tracks, the Truck Week ‘26 – Ultimate Trucking Songs Playlist is shaping up as a soundtrack as diverse as the industry itself.
Truck Week has pulled together a massive Spotify longlist of trucking, road and freight-inspired songs, sourced from Australian truckie playlists and industry suggestions.
Now it is over to the people who spend their days behind the wheel, in the workshop, around the yard, across depots and warehouses, and everywhere else that keeps the freight task moving.
The idea is simple: have a listen, choose up to five favourites, and help decide which songs make the final Truck Week 2026 ranking.
The longlist spans different eras, genres and moods. There are songs built for long stretches of highway, tracks that belong on workshop radios, songs that feel right for knock-off time, and plenty that will spark debate about what really deserves a place in the ultimate trucking playlist.
Part of the fun will be seeing what today’s truckies and industry teams actually want to hear. Will the classics dominate? Will newer favourites climb the list? Will country, rock or pub anthems lead the way? Or will a few wildcards prove that the industry’s musical taste is broader than anyone expected?
The final ranked playlist will remain live on Spotify for Truck Week 2026 – ready for the road, the yard, the workshop, the depot or the office.
Voting is open now. Choose carefully, because each person can vote for up to five songs.
