It’s not on its way to Atlanta and it’s not filled with 400 cases of Coors Light. But we’ll forgive the Roush Fenway Racing Twitter account as it gives NASCAR fans a behind the scenes look at the life of a hauler driver.
The live tweeting comes from the cab of the hauler for the No. 16 car of Greg Biffle as it makes its way west to Phoenix International Raceway for this weekend’s Sprint Cup race.
The journey started at Texas Motor Speedway following the AAA Texas 500 and it even has its own Spotify playlist.
We won't be doing the whole journey tonight, but here's a quick preview of the drive ahead of us #RFRTruckin pic.twitter.com/qXKVmONiPS

Ryder just backed this 18-wheeler into a space I'd have trouble parking my car. That was amazing. #RFRTruckin pic.twitter.com/BbFqWyZhxp

We also have to fill up the generator that powers the trailer. That's another 40-50 gallons of fuel. #RFRTruckin pic.twitter.com/hTnMzAcy1y
