American Trucker was a television show on the Speed cable channel. Hosted by Robb Mariani, the pilot episode featured Robb helping another mechanic restore a 1980 Kenworth K-100 Aerodyne trucks used in the TV show B. J. and the Bear, along with a short piece about the world's largest truck stop, the Iowa 80.

American Trucker ran a total of 28 episodes across 2 seasons.

The show was produced by Bud Brutsman and directed in part by Steve Beebe of the show Overhaulin'. Show content was derived from Mariani's background with trucks and trucking history. Dan Bruno, the owner of the Rubber Duck's Mack truck from Convoy and past owner of the Peterbilt tanker from Duel is credited on the show as a technical consultant.
