Truck driver slang

I still use quite a bit of slang.
42 or I understand
bird dog or radar detector
big hole or high gear
Walkin the dog and kickin the cat
I wonder how many have heard put your boots on? and what it means

 

No but about every grain wagon or cow truck I have ever run with use it. Means switch to channel 8 on low side

 

Interesting fun stuff. Most I've heard. Just getting back into it after doing local hauling of gasoline.
always curious when a " desperado" was mentioned over the radio but could never figure
any ideas??

 

A few more, Diesel Bear = DOT Cop, She Bear = Female cop, Barley Pop=Beer, Dirty side=East coast, Shaky side= West coast

It probably all went by the wayside when all the trucks became governed below the speed limit - lets face it the CB was used to circumvent speeding tickets.

 

I know what all of the slang for cops except "full grown" what does that one stand for in particular?

 

Cool, thanks for sharing them here. Nice to know that words.
