A thoroughly outstanding program - for everyone

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.
