Live Trucker is a live album by Kid Rock and the Twisted Brown Trucker band. It was released on February 28, 2006, via Top Dog/Atlantic Records. Most of the songs were recorded from August 26 through August 28, 2004 at DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan, except "Devil Without a Cause" and "Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp", which featured Joe C. and Uncle Kracker and were recorded on September 1, 2000 at Pine Knob Music Theatre, "Cowboy Intro", "Cowboy" and Gretchen Wilson-assisted "Picture", which were recorded at Cobo Arena in Detroit on March 27, 2004, and "Outstanding", which was recorded at soundcheck in St. Louis.

The medley of "Somebody's Gotta Feel This" and "Fist of Rage," bridged together by Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love". "Cowboy" has the Dukes of Hazzard's theme song "Good Ol' Boys" removed from it. Likewise with "Devil Without a Cause" as AC/DC's "Back in Black" was removed from the first chorus. "You Never Met a Motherfucker Quite Like Me" includes a verse of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird" in the middle of the song.

The cover of the album is in the same style as the Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band album Live Bullet.
