Movin' On (TV series)

Encyclopedia : M : MO : MOV : Movin' On (TV series)

Movin' On (also known as In Tandem) was a television show that ran for two seasons (and a total of forty-six episodes), between 1974 and 1976. It originally appeared on the NBC television network.

Movin' On starred Claude Akins as trucker Sonny Pruitt, and Frank Converse, who played his co-driver Will Chandler. The theme song, "Movin' On", was written and performed by Merle Haggard, and was a top-ten single on the U.S. country charts in late 1974.

The semi-tractor featured on the pilot episode was a dark green 1973 Kenworth W-925, but was later changed to a 1974 model for the series run.

The CB Radio boom in the mid-1970s figured into a merchandising tie-in for the show, and Movin' On-brand walkie-talkies (which worked on CB channel 14) were marketed to children.
