Randy Bachman was a member of (the Guess Who) band before forming this band. He left at the peak of the popularity of (the Guess Who) due to his Mormon religious beliefs conflicted with the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll lifestyle of the other band members and caused some bitterness between Bachman and band mate Burton Cummings (Mormon means no drugs or alcohol - or even coffee or tea)!
The name is a combination of the members' last names and Overdrive, the trucker magazine. Legend has it that Randy and Frank were sitting around a table at a Husky Restaurant (which is a big "Truck Stop" chain in Canada) and they were trying to think of a name for the band. Randy was reading the magazine and said as a joke, "We should name ourselves Overdrive." And our song here is about truckers; also the video is from one of the famous movies about truckers!
