Releases
In 1995, Big Ass Truck's self-titled debut hit the shelves. Soon, frequent touring with the band 311 would increase the bands popularity before their follow-up release in 1996 titled Kent. The band would continue on to release an E.P. and two more albums. Under the name "Big Angelic Truck" the band recorded two Christmas songs, "Do You Hear What I Hear" and "Holly Jolly Christmas" for a local charity. They later released these songs on a limited edition 7" single.
Hiatus
Shortly after their most recent release in 2001, the largely instrumental The Rug, Big Ass Truck has since been on hiatus. The future of the band is still uncertain. Bandmates are not commenting on when or even if the band will ever get back together. According to the band's myspace page, they no longer exist.

Today, Robby Grant plays in a solo project under the name Vending Machine. He also plays guitar in another band, Mouserocket, with former Big Ass Truck bandmate Robert Barnett and guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Alicja Trout of The Lost Sounds and River City Tanlines. Steve Selvidge recorded and toured with The Bloodthirsty Lovers along with Dave Shouse who is the former member of Memphis lo-fi rockers The Grifters and Those Bastard Souls.
