Exclamation Trucking Terms Glossary/Lexicon

I have learned so much from this forum. I really appreciate those who take their time to post.

I am investigating buying a couple of rigs and starting a small co and really need to know as much as possible.

I see acronyms and abreviations and don't know what they are or mean.

For example, BCO? I figured out what LTL is but had to google that to find out.

Am I missing a thread where this is already there?

I'm not sure if one exists, but if not, it's a good idea. I'll follow up with WiseOne to see if we can set up some sort of thread with a single post that anyone here could edit/update. (That may not be do-able, though. We might have to submit entries to the mods for updating... but WiseOne sometimes has tricks up his sleeve.)

A list of acronyms would definitely be helpful, and to build it as a community might provide us with the most comprehensive list.

I found a really good site that is for the media and truckers. They have Trucking Terms listed all nice and neatly and it is updated often. Also visit our Trucker Lingo section for some more trucker terms.

Thanks, WiseOne, for following up on this for us! It'll sure help the newbies and us four-wheelers when we see trucking-specific terms and acronyms bandied about the boards!
