Assuming you want some good driving music and not just a collection of stuff with trucks referrenced in the lyrics. Here's a few to start you off:

Radar Love - Golden Earring

Highway To Hell - AC/DC

Wanted Dead Or Alive - Bon Jovi

Highway Star - Deep Purple

Creeque Alley - Mamas and the Papas (kinda slow compared to the rest of these, but you need something to calm you down in traffic jams LOL)

Running On Empty - Jackson Browne

Blue Collar Man - Styx

Already Gone and Midnight Flyer - The Eagles

Dirty White Boy - Foreigner

Soul Man - The Blues Brothers

Additionally, almost anything by Bad Company, and if you absolutely MUST have an actual truck drivin' song in your collection, it's just gotta be 30,000 Pounds of Bananas by Harry Chapin - just don't let your wife listen to it before you make a trip through Scranton, PA! LOL

There is nothing like the old trucking songs of the 1960's and 1970's. Convoy, Phantom 309 and East Bound and Down are three that come to mind.
