Description: C.W. McCall's song 'Convoy' reached the number one position on the pop and country music charts in January 1976. The song was about truckers using CB radios to rebel against the new 55 mph federal speed limits, a theme so popular and topical, that the single sold over two million copies upon release. Midland decided to market a CB radio called the 'Convoy Buddy' to McCall fans, and while its 4 watts won’t get you from New Jersey to Omaha, Nebraska, like it did in the song, the radio was a nice unit. In 1978, the movie Convoy was released, based on McCall's song, that featured a new version of the track, written specially to track with the events of the film. The movie injected renewed in interest in the song and the Convoy Buddy radio sets.

Their original route was between Winnipeg and Windsor, Ontario, with Winnipeg as the head office. By December, Reimer added Windsor to Vancouver, and had extended to Toronto by 1956.

Yellow operated Reimer as an independent line until 2019, at which point the Reimer name was retired.

It was a minor hit, peaking at number nine on the country charts, with lyrics are spoken, rather than sung. This Phantom Trucking design is a fun nod to Big Joe's allegedly fictional trucking company which has him based in Barstow, California, and continuing to live on as a ghost trucker of the west coast. The song tells of a hitchhiker (the singer, in first person) trying to return home from the West Coast. On the third day of his trip, while at a crossroads in a driving rain, the hitchhiker is picked up by "Big Joe" driving his tractor-trailer called "Phantom 309," who ends up being a ghost driver, of urban legend fame...
