After releasing several demos in 2001 and 2002, they recorded a split-EP with local Swedish band Firestone in 2003. In 2005 they released their debut album Gravity X on both MeteorCity Records and Fuzzorama Records. Their follow-up album, Phi, was released in 2007 by Poison Tree Records in the U.S. and on the Fuzzorama label elsewhere. Their latest album, V, was released on September 30, 2016.
Their sound has been described as classic desert rock, similar to bands like Dozer, Fu Manchu (with whom they have toured), and Kyuss. They have been featured on the MTV Sweden show "Fuzz"
The film Truckfighters by Joerg Steineck and Christian Maciejewski portrays the band's life. It was released in December 2011 and features interviews with Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age. The film provides an ironic, entertaining view of the three "ordinary" guys who transform into Fuzz Monsters onstage.

Gweedo-Weedo
Truckfighters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you looking any good
Upside inside out
It doesn't matter to you
Standing in the light
You always doing it right
Learn how to relax
Gweedo weedo is all we need
He's looking for his sack of weed
When you're round the dude
There is no meening being rude
Kind as no one else
He's understanding himself
Gweedo weedo is all we need
He's looking for his sack of weed
The lyrics of "Gweedo-Weedo" by the Swedish rock band Truckfighters, portray an identifiable narrative on how the culture of marijuana indulgence is acquainted with humanistic peace and understanding- a somewhat common sentiment that is often associated with stoners. The song uses the singer, "Gweedo-Weedo," as a representation of a weed enthusiast who enjoys life on his terms, irrespective of societal and personal judgments.
The first verse of the song highlights how Gweedo-Weedo lives life without a worry in the world. The lyrics, "You don't seem to care, If you looking any good, Upside inside out, It doesn't matter to you," plausibly suggest that the character does not care a lot about social norms and expectations imposed on him. The second verse talks about Gweedo's peaceful personality and how he is always making a positive contribution to others. The lyrics, "When you're round the dude, There is no meaning of being rude, Kind as no one else, He's understanding himself," promotes the idea that Gweedo is a kind and humane person who does not judge others based on their life choices.
To summarize, the song considers Gweedo-Weedo as a metaphor for the joys of smoking weed with all its perks; as a symbol of freedom, socialization, relaxation, and kindness.
