Fernfahrer (title of the DVD edition: Die Fernfahrer ) was a German television series in twelve episodes, which, in addition to depicting cinematic adventures, is also a portrait of the everyday life of truck drivers in the 1960s .

It was produced by Süddeutscher Rundfunk in black and white for ARD and was broadcast in the first program on Sunday afternoons from 1963 to 1967 , four episodes each in early 1963 and 1964 and in autumn 1967. The length of the individual episodes varied widely between 30 and 62 Minutes. The main actors were Pit Krüger , Rudolf Krieg , Monika Berg and Charlotte Schreiber-Just , the guests included Kurt Schmidtchen , Horst Naumann , Kurt Hepperlin , Klaus Höhne , Edgar Hoppe , Gernot Duda , Sigurd Fitzek , Rolf Jahncke , Heinz Schimmelpfennig and Willy Bread roll . Directed by Theo Mezger .

The main actors were also the trucks of that time , above all the Büssing 8000 , which was used in all episodes , but also the Mercedes-Benz , MAN and Magirus-Deutz types, which were also widespread at the time . The very first episode is about a date race between the Büssing 8000, which was already outdated at the time of shooting and broadcast, and a brand-new Magirus-Deutz Pluto front-wheel drive from a competing freight forwarder.
