Trick My Truck

Let me add a third comment for this show. The other two obviously represent one ("Ironhead 1975") who is in the trucking profession, and "nettkellar," who is certainly also more within the demographics for this show than I am.

I'm a city person, and while I enjoy driving a nice car as much as anyone, have never even done an oil change, and am not "mechanical," in the least. I'm not a big country music fan, so I just stumbled on this show a while back, since I don't dial the CMT channel very often.

But I love "Trick My Truck," and everything about it. And having lived in Springfield, MO previously, and in Tulsa now, I am very familiar with the Joplin area where these guys are based (Joplin is on the same interstate as both Tulsa and Springfield, and between these two cities).

It represents an old-fashioned, family-oriented, feel-good type of entertainment. I'm not a prude, and enjoy movies which are sometimes R-rated - but there is too little of this type of programming today. The guys who "trick" the trucks are a down-to-earth, completely likable group - and most of the stories which surround the equipment they refurbish are truly heartfelt.

Everything about this program, its "stories" and its principals, is as positive, pleasant, enjoyable and entertaining as one could wish.

It has been three months since I made the above comment. I notice another gentleman, obviously in the trucking profession, has added a 4th, complimentary comment as well. This program airs frequently, at different times, and for a while there seemed to be mostly repeats -- although watching one of these programs a 2nd or 3rd time is better than most others just once. Now that several new ones have been shown, I would say the program remains just a fine as I indicated above -- perhaps even getting better. Remains one of the finest pieces of programming on any channel.

With so many television shows becoming ho-hum boringly commonplace with nothing new to offer these days, it is refreshing to find a show that rewards the viewer with great entertainment, sometimes uproarious humor, and amazing results. The talented men who perform the miracles on the old trucks are true artists, and many times the results of their hard labors can take your breath away. Three cheers for this wonderful show, and may it live long and prosper! I, for one, will continue to watch this show, even though sometimes I must stay up until the wee hours of the morning to do so. I especially want to congratulate the cast and crew for their professionalism, their focus on an ultimately rewarding end result, and hitting the nail on the head with their "Theme" names on the trucks. The "Legacy" truck was and is my favorite. From what it was to what it became was nothing short of miraculous. Keep up the good work fellas. You are all great!

I don't watch CMT much and don't know jack about cars / trucks but I love this show! I tried to watch American chopper but the cussing, fighting, drama, throwing parts around, etc got old.

The guys on this show are all top notch professionals in their field. They let each other do the work they do best, and they treat their customers and each other with total respect. They don't waste time arguing, and they get right to the point with what they're going to do. The show follows a good steady format all the time too.

The thing I love the most is the fact they do work for the people who deserve and need it most: Maybe a trucker faced with health issues, or doesn't have the money to fix it. I think a lot of people think truckers have it easy but they work hard, and should be proud of their equipment. The chrome shop mafia gives their jobs, trucks, and the drivers themselves the respect they deserve. This is a great show and I watch it every chance I get!

Most people think of the car shows think about the maintenance shows on Spike. This show is nothing like American Chopper (mostly about motorcycles); Trick My Truck focuses more on dually trucks and also semi-trucks. The show needs to be re-reviewed because of the hilarious content and inspirational content. It is important to thank the big trucks on the roads that send materials, food, and furniture to our homes and our bellies. The Chrome Shop Mafia deserves an excellent amount of credit on this show. They tear down old trucks and make them spiffier and to the driver's likes.

They, the Chrome Shop Mafia, make a living beating the hell out of these trucks and they deserve some credit.

It's about time We have the option of turning on the TV and seeing a show that not only You and Your Family can watch, but doing so without all the cussing and needless throwing of parts and tools like American Chopper or the goofy looking wimpy little foreign cars on pimp my ride. Those Truckers have earned the right to cruise down the road in a cool looking truck,and feel proud as they do it day and night. Chrome Shop Mafia has got My vote, I believe this show is going to be a hit for sure. And yes I drive a truck,21yrs now. I salute all My fellow Truck Drivers, as well as the cast and crew of Trick My Truck who are helping to put the American Trucker a little more into the Lime Light. Oh and by the way....I ride a custom softail with a 113 inch ultima engine, so don't think I'm kicking to hard on American Chopper.
