Default Truck driver slang

A few slang words that might help you guys out:

Chicken coop : Weigh scale

Super coop : Weigh scale with garage for full on inspection

Full Grown, Bear : Usually a state trooper

Choke n puke : restaurant

Pickle Park : Truck stop, use your imagination

Disco lights : lights on top of cop car, full blazin

Meatwagon : Ambulance

Camel : Slow mover

Gater : Blown truck tire on the road

Four wheeler : car/pickup with 4 wheels

Ghost car : unmarked cop car

Lot Lizard : Truck stop prostitute

Rhubarb : The ditch "that car just hit the rhubarb"

Brake check : stopped traffic in front of you, usually on the interstate

Hammer down : Go fast

Hammer lane : fast lane, left lane

Granny lane : slow lane, right lane

Parking lot : commercial vehicle that hauls cars/trucks

Yardstick : Mile markers on the side of the interstate


Some are painfully obvious, but you never know!

Feel free to add your own!

Default Slang

"Granny lane: slow lane, right lane" Can also be the truck lane going up a mountain or long hill.
"Chicken coop/Super coop": can be a POE in the west.
"Gater" that would be 'gator, as in alligator due to the resemblance of the gator's hide and a truck tire tread.
"local yokel/city kitty": town cop
"county mountie": sheriff
"skateboard": flatbed
"rollin' refinery" pertoleum tanker
BTW allan5oh, where's "here" as in your 20? BOL
