Big Rig Trucker Al Owens turned 50 on 19 Jul 2018 2018-07-21 - Collumbia, KY - Photo by Big Al Owens, the Big Rig Trucker. Big Rig trucker turns 50 On Thursday, July 19, 2018, the Big rig trucker turned 50. I was in Houston at Edison. It's a 5 star restaurant located in downtown Houston. Ashley and the staff definitely made my birthday memorable. I had Texas chicken and brussel sprouts. Amazing dish with special herbs and spices. I came back to Kentucky today and my family helped me celebrate too. My friends and I raised $200 for suicide awareness, I appreciate everything everyone has ever done with me or for me in my half century here in the greatest country in the world. - Al Owens.
