Music Is there a "10" code for "When will you reach your destination?"
I work for a concrete ready mix company and this question comes up alot. I thought the code was 10-80. Please correct me if I am wrong.

actually there are as many ten code variations as there are police departments. Just use ETA, its shorter than either 10-84 or 10-26 or 10-77 etc etc, LOL!

"What's your ETA?" is what we have been using. Just thought there was a 10 code.

the three I mentioned in my post are all variations of ETA for police. Wikipedia has a good chart that shows the several meanings for 10-codes

10-77 is the code I'm familiar with (I used to be a police dispatcher many years ago), but as I say, phonetically, its silly to use a 6 syllable code instead of the simpler 3 syllable "ETA".
Of course, there is always the shorter "WHERE Y'AT?"

I simply say whatever I need to in plain, clear, consise English. 10 codes are mainly for law enforcement, and people who think that truckers are still stuck in the 70's cb craze.

As a former volunteer Firefighter and EMT I am quite familiar with the way things were done here. 10-23 was the code for arrived on scene, LEO's also used this code. 10-17 was enrouted, 10-8 was on duty, 10-7 was off duty and 10-6 was busy. 10-21 was phone call(give or receive).

Ours are:
10-8 Acknowledge page in service
10-76 Enroute
10-23 On scene
10-60 In area
10-24 Completed leaving scene
10-6 Busy

However, under the new rules we are moving away from 10 codes to sayings:
Available, enroute, basically used plain speech.
