N°1 C&W; the story of a trucker receiving a crippled little boy's call on the CB and decides to pay him a visit. Seems he was not the only one listening: by the time he gets there, looks like they got them a convoy. Red Sovine also wrote Phantom 309 (see there) and Giddy Up Go, also covered by Gerard De Vries.
