Questions about trucking life
by: Lizzee

My novel involves a trucker. Right now I'm at a point (Chapter 17) where my trucker receives a phone call. Would that be a cell phone or a CB? What is the usual thing used? Would he have a head set? Would the intrument be on the dash board so he had to reach for it?

Also, I have my trucker driving a refrigerated semi . Does that make sense? How many tons of produce could he haul in a semi?

Also, my trucker picks up a hitchhiker. Would that be realistic? or dangerous. It is a runaway kid he feels sorry for.

When he gets his produce to a drop would it be normal for there to be someone to unload it? Is that a union thing?

truckers personal stories and expressions
by: Hervy

Hello Elizabeth,

I appreciate your desire to fairly represent truckers i your writing. Sounds like an interesting story (and very possible).

Here is a page with CB talk to give you an idea of the conversation. Listen as you watch the video.

Also there is a link to the wiki page where there is a full list of CB terms and Truckers Lingo.

However, be advised that most of the lingo and cb terms is not actually used today as much as just regular talk. Only a few of those old school long standing terms are used as you will hear when you watch the video.
