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!

city kitty : local pd
county mounty : local sheriffs dept
"they're shooting you right in the face" or "he's got his gun pointed at your windshield" meaning the Radar Gun is being pointed directly at your truck as you are approaching

rhubarb is pretty common up here.
I always thought pickle park was a truck stop, I've been wrong many times before!

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
