"Live Trucker" is a live album by Kid Rock released on February 28, 2006. It is comprised of songs from his homestands of Clarkston (on September 1, 2000, and August 26 through August 28, 2004) and Detroit's Cobo Hall (March 26, 2004). The album contained the last two performances of Joe C. on "Devil Without a Cause" and "Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp" as well as Gretchen Wilson dueting on "Picture". Other highlights included "Only God Knows Why", the medley of "Somebody's Gotta Feel This" and "Fist of Rage", bridge together by Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love".

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