Trucker Terms, CB Talk, Truckers Slang and Truckers Lingo

Start the video to hear truckers on the cb talking using cb slang and truckers lingo.

Crazy Truckers talking on CB in a traffic Jam.

This is a list of terms truckers and slang used on the CB and in the trucking industry
This is real trucker talk on CD must be 18 to listen because it's not edited like the video.


This video is truck stop cb talk and with a radio Rambo in Laredo and Houston Tx

You will then hear another driver asking for local directions. I answer and give him directions in. Newbie's, that is exactly how you get on the CB and ask for local information for where you are trying to get to. Sometimes drivers are around who can tell yo how to get in better than the directions, it's also useful when your directions are wrong. BUT!!! with time you will learn that sometimes a driver is not sure about his directions and won't tell you that. (that's just something you will pick up on in their voice after your out here a while, just be advised)

Welcome to the world of trucking. Where you just may get lost if you can't communicate with those you encounter. Truckers terms, Cb Talk, Truckers Lingo and Truckers Slang can present a challenge if you haven't been around the trucking industry. We will attempt to help you out with a little elaboration on the different communication barriers.

Truckers Terms

Trucker terms is different from truckers lingo or CB talk. Trucker terms or (trucking terms) is terms that are commonly used by people in the trucking industry or by people when referring to things related to the trucking industry. So these terms are often used by professionals, media, and people associated with or doing business with the trucking industry or truckers. For this site I will elaborate on some the terms that I use through out Life as a Trucker. Obviously there are many more used in the industry but I will pretty much be adding them here as I use them developing this site. However . . .

This is a complete list of trucker terms.

Truckers Lingo or Truckers Slang

Same goes for cb or truckers lingo.

Trucking Lingo or Truckers Slang is slang used mostly by truckers themselves usually when communicating with other truckers. The meaning may actually differ slightly depending on how they are used, where they are used and who uses them.

I know I know!

So I will be playing with the cb (the boys gonna love that) to illustrate this as soon as I get my truck back to record some more footage.

(Its been in the shop for 2 weeks, cracked head)

CB Talk

Coming soon I will illustrate talking on the CB using some of the more popular terms so you will know how its done. You will hear actually conversation between truck driver on the cb. Trust me you don't want to miss this. CB talk especially for non trucker is pure entertainment. When I first jumped in a truck I couldn't stop laughing. Now sometimes when I pay attention to myself, I sound just like a lifer on the cb.

My Own Elaboration on some Trucking Terms used on Life as a Trucker

Drop and Hook This means dropping the trailer in a parking spot so that you can go and hook up to another trail (example drop loaded one to go pick up an empty one on the yard so that I can pick up another load)

Sleeper
- The space that you see behind a trucker is his sleeping quarters. Back there at minimum is his bed. Most trucks also have cabinets for storage, tv/vcr/dvd combo's, microwave and or a refrigerator.

Some trucks have even more room. The bed may convert to a couch for daytime lounging, there may be a table in the front of the couch, computer station, small dining table.

Custom sleepers most commonly seen on moving company trucks can pretty much have anything they want installed, including toilet, kitchen sink, and a shower. They may cost in excess of $100,000.
