A Nielsen favorite from the 1970’s, Movin' On stars Claude Akins as old-time independent "big-rig" trucker Sunny Pruitt, and Frank Converse as his college-educated co-driver Will Chandler. The theme song, "Movin' On", was written and performed by Merle Haggard, and was a No. 1 single on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart in July 1975.

Movin’ On centers on Sonny and Will as they became involved in the lives of people they met across all their travels. In the first episode, Will’s truck slides out of control due to poor maintenance of the brakes. After he manages to get the truck stopped, he drives to a truck stop and calls the company to quit his job. Will then meets Sonny, a "gypsy" trucker, and together they decide to team up.
