"A make-over show for Mac trucks is a stellar concept. Too bad CMT went for the good old boy instead of the gearhead. Viewers are as likely as the truckers to feel tricked by this silly show."—PopMattersPopMatters: Trick My Truck Review
"Unfortunately, their dialogue feels scripted and their delivery is lifeless, making for less-appealing characters than some of the other, more personality-driven shows. Some of the jokes included to lighten things up fall flat or just seem corny. But on the plus side, the show is only 30 minutes, which means the work goes fast and viewers get to see big changes without getting weighed down in the details."—Common Sense MediaCommon Sense Media: Trick My Truck Review
Controversy
"Several issues led to the decision for CSM not to continue with Trick My Truck.
The show was drifting away from ‘big rigs’ and featuring more small trucks, pickups, service trucks, etc.
CSM was concerned about the ‘quality’ of the work being performed. Many aspects of the ‘truck makeovers’ were out of our control and we will not jeopardize our reputation.
CSM often had creative & styling differences with show management. Show management had begun to attempt to ‘direct’ 4 State Trucks/CSM as to which companies and vendors we could endorse, publicly associate with and perform work for.
CSM does not approve of, or endorse the new TV series “Trick My Trucker”. In our opinion, it makes modern day truckers look ‘silly and ridiculous’. One of CSM’s main objectives this past few years is to promote the image of the trucker and the trucking industry in a positive and respectable way. This new TV show did not carry forth that message."—ChromeShopMafiaChromeShopMafia: 4 State Trucks…Home of ChromeShopMafia, We Want To Thank You
