* ''VideoGame/{{Starfield}}'' pays homage to the space trucker aesthetic. Shipmaker [=HopeTech's=] entire premise is producing inexpensive, utilitarian cargo ships for blue collar haulers and its headquarters resembles a truck stop; there are multiple pieces of trucker-themed apparel, including a "Space Trucker Spacesuit" and an outfit with a red-and-black flannel shirt; and the player can choose "Long Hauler" as a character background during character creation.
* ''Star Trucker'' mashes up the gameplay of ''VideoGame/AmericanTruckSimulator'' with a sci-fi setting. The player's "ship" resembles a Mack truck with rocket thrusters, characters communicate via CB radio with plenty of slang, and the space lanes feature American-style road and highway signs. The core gameplay loop involves completing cargo hauling contracts to earn cash, which is used to cover fuel and repair costs, improve your truck, and pay your way to new sectors that offer more profitable work.

* ''Literature/NationalLampoonsDoon'' replaces ''Literature/{{Dune}}'''s Spacing Guild with the Schlepping Guild, who embody every trucker stereotype and rely on beer, rather than Spice.

* On the 3DO game ''Loadstar: The Legend Of Tully Bodine'', you play the titular space trucker as he runs through the maglev trenches of the Moon ferrying an illegal cargo that must be taken to Mars. The game itself is a RailShooter with {{Live Action Cutscene}}s.

** The crew of the ''Betty'' in ''Film/AlienResurrection'' has shades of this trope, as well; they are the creation of Creator/JossWhedon, maker of SpiritualSuccessor ''{{Series/Firefly}}''.

* While ''[=StarCraft=]'' was established as being the DeepSouth InSpace, ''VideoGame/StarCraftII'' takes it even further, with all the music being country, the [=SCVs=] being truckers, and advertisements for "Bubba's Gas and Grits", a restaurant with an actual space truck on it.

* In ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'', 'Boomers' are human space freighter crew. Ensign Mayweather grew up on these freighters and so has more experience on what's 'out there' than the rest of the crew who grew up on an Earth that's still an InsignificantBluePlanet to the rest of the Alpha Quadrant. Due to the long space voyages the boomers have developed their own culture (through not to the level of a ProudMerchantRace) but the advent of faster warp engines threatens that.
