Truck driver slang

Full grown at least as far as I've always been told means that the cop car has all the lights and bells and whistles on it!
If this is wrong please advise!

 

I'm not sure any of these are used anymore but back in the day, green stamp was a toll road, I'm running the green stamp to Filthadelphia" (Philadelphia) Bikini is south Florida, "I'm heading down to the bikini" Chicken house, is weigh station Locked up referred to a closed weigh station. DOT might still be in the building but had the closed sign out "Locked up, nobody home" is a weigh station closed with the lights out and no DOT vehicle parked by the scale house, so likely closed for the night. "running thru the woods" or "skinny road" is driving on roads other than the interstate like US & state hwys. "I'm running thru the woods" The "big road" is the interstate. "the orange ball" was Union 76 truckstops, "mama" referred to your wife, "loop" is a bypass around a city.

"Full Grown" means a DOT cop, the one most feared by truckers. Others go by various names: City Kitty, Speed Cop, County Mounty, etc. Anything less than a DOT is not a "Full Grown."

 

As I recall, as another name for Nashville, we'd say we are running thru the "guitar" that seemed the most common name for that city. Just another wrinkle.

 

A few more, Fingerprinting a load=Hand unloading a trailer, Tailgating a load=bringing the load back to the rear of the trailer, JawJacker=somebody who talks to much, Kicking a tire=pulling over and relieving yourself, and yes Full Grown means either a DOT Cop or a State Trooper, State Police.....

what is a cb radio?

 

Its a Latin term for "communications beacon".
Its that long stick to the right of your knee.
You talk into it by mashing the button down,
and yell really loud into it.To receive transmissions,
you pull button up and yank around on communication beacon.
Eventually you should hear something,sometimes you may be
out of range,and need to move it into one of its other settings :smt061
