Help 2 The American Trucker language
Hi,
I have a question. Are you often using this.. hmm i don't know how you say on that.. 10-4 etc. on CB? Because in Poland we have something like this, but no one use this. And some words.. when I'm reading you "stories from the road", sometimes i can't understand words.
Maybe these word's are not form "truckers" language, but I can't to find their translate from my dictionary:

Lumpers, hammer down, speedo, decked..

Maybe nex time more :P

Here are some codes we use

10-4: Yes; I agree with you
10-20: your location; where you are at on the road
10-36: what time is it
73's: good bye, have a good day. (use more on Ham raido)
Hammer Down: Going as fast as you can.
Speedo: the Gauge used to tell how fast you are going
breaker: I have something to say

Well not sure of it being used as a CB slang but generally a lumper is somebody who you pay to unload your truck... Most grocery warehouses have lumpers, they unload it and break it down.. another words they may need to make 3-4 pallets out of the 1 that came of your truck.. why would they do that? well it could be going to different stores or the slot it fits into at the warehouse is only so tall...

Lumpers- noun, a group or organization of typically foreign immigrants that use extortion to get money out of truckers and or their company. Known for taking 4 to 8 hours to complete a one hour job and demanding 12 hrs worth of pay. Sometimes offering lame excuses for how long the job took or how much it costs. "We ran out of pallets" is a common offering or "everything needed to be broken down" is another one.

That is the correct definition....

You forgot to add that there are Union lumpers and at the risk of pizzing off some Dyed-in-the-wool otherwise card-carrying union hands, I'll mention one term often uttered after they pull one pallet off the trailer:
"Hey, it's time for my mid-morning-pre-lunchtime break.
See you in a couple hours...."

"Hey, it's time for my mid-morning-pre-lunchtime break."
OH! You mean the "15-minute-pre-mid-morning-break... break!" (30 minutes)
Not to be confused with the "15-minute-late-morning-pre-lunchtime break... break!" (30 minutes)
Which followed the "15-minute-mid-morning-break". (30 minutes)
This is usually followed by the "30-minute-lunch break" (2 hours),
the "15-minute-mid-afternoon-pre-break... break", (30 minutes)
the "15-minute-mid-afternoon-break", (30 minutes)
the "15-minute-late-afternoon-pre-quitting-time break... break ", (30 minutes)
and the "pre-quitting-time-break" to clean up and put things away (where everybody disappears 30 minutes before quitting time!)

Whadaya want'em to do? Work through their break? You're already getting 3 hours a day out of 'em!

It would be funny if it wasn't true!

And, yes! it does remind me of my union days!

Nope! That's not right either! I got two more breaks than that with the Union!
