Highway Hag's General Trucking Terms

Trucker Talk "Here we are providing for you — at no additional charge — a handy dictionary of some of the more common trucker terms so you can look up any slang in a post that doesn’t make sense. Or get yourself a big old CB and drive down the highway flowin’ and goin’ with your new best friends the truckers. Just don’t call any of them “good buddy” unless you want to be run off onto the shoulder. Good buddy used to be just a generic term for another trucker. Then it morphed into Good Buddy. As in really good buddies. Buddies with privileges.
