A collection of Trucking Lingo

There's no doubt about it, truckers have a language all their own. This is especially true of their communications on the CB. The following trucker words and phrases were heard on the two-way during my job as a truck driver on  America's interstate highways. I've supplied the definitions based upon conversations with truckers at truck stops. This glossary is by no means complete, since new trucker language develops all the time. If you know of words or phrases I've missed, send them to robert@landstar.org
