The Franklin County Trucking Company pays homage to the truck driving songs of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, while mixing in a thank full of greasy rock'n'roll diesel. FcoTco was the brainchild of Number 9 Blacktops guitarist "Skinny" Jim Rotramel, and kicked into gear by Supersuckers frontman Eddie Spaghetti. Rotramel ran the idea by former Number 9 Blacktops drummer Taylor Sprehe, along with Dallas Alice bandmate Sean Hopkins, and both were on board from the start. 

 

    The band recorded its first album, The Adventures of the Franklin County Trucking Company, in 2017. The album met great feedback, and the band followed it up in 2019 with The Further Adventures of the Franklin County Trucking Company, and radio play from SiriusXM's Outlaw Country, along with big support from the truck driving community, helped to make this album a success as well. The band's third album, The Latest Adventures of the Franklin County Trucking Company, was released in April 2022, and the band played the following Outlaw Country Cruise that next year. In the Summer of 2024, the band recorded it's fourth album, The Death-Defying Adventures of the Franklin County Trucking Company, with this album featuring Eric "Roscoe" Ambel on lead guitar for the track "Me & Mr. Pibb". 

 

     The Franklin County Trucking Company continues to tear up the open road with a new album in the works, more tour dates always being added, and a whole truckload of rock'n'roll perfection.
