I think this song is about a truck driver trying to hit it big.
"steep greade up ahead, slow me down, makin' no time" refers to gearing down going down hills and that he is late on schedule.
"I'm driving my life away, looking for a better way, for me" means that he's driven for a long time, and is trying to get out of the business and find a better job, more than likely closer to home.
The Truck Stop Cutie is a "Lot Lizard" or being blunt, a truck stop whore.
I don't know just my thoughts.
