"Eastbound, you got a shooter on the bridge at the 99 and a beartrap at the 100."

"10-4, westbound. Aint seen nothing your way. Theres a creeper party at the coup. "

"Southbound, you are well protected between the 5 and 15."

"Roger that, northbound...you had a white wrapper your side at the 20 and a slicktop at the 21"

 

Shooter is the cop shooting radar.

Beartrap is the cop waiting down the road from the shooter waiting to git cha.

Nope, coup is the weigh station or chicken coup or chicken house. Creeper party is the DOT doing truck, trailer inspections also known on the cb as DOT "working hard" as in "the chicken house is open and they're working hard." They say creeper party cuz the DOT use creepers to look under your equipment altho I never heard "creeper party". FYI, this is a creeper http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_1038203_1038203

White wrapper is a white cop car either marked or not marked. Slicktop is a cop car without a lightbar on top

gee, I miss truckin! , or at least ratchet jawin on the ray did dio. AWWW DIO!!!!
breaker one nine for a radio check. Jeez, remember when people actually asked for a "break" before they talked?

 

Usually, a shooter is a cop sitting on an overpass with a laser clocking your speed from a long distance away. A bear trap is usually three or more cops waiting for the speeders. A creeper party is when the weigh station is full of dot cops in coveralls and their creepers out leaning on their cars.

and I forgot to mention the stealth bear.

 

Stealth Bear...they keep using those stupid white Intrepids round here with a spot light on the drivers side.
hand.staple.forehead.

Then again I kept it where it was and let another driver blow by me just in time to see the disco lights...that was amusing because he looked so shocked. Really? ugh

 

Lizard strips; the rumble strips on the side of the road intending to wake up sleepy drivers. ( Cab Lizards ).

 

my usual is S@#t wagon. I always have to get my windows up and hit recirculate on my vents when a pig hauler, or sheep, or cattle passes me up. Or if Im parked at a truck stop and a S@#T wagon parks nearby and up wind of me the I gotta move. Other than that all the lingo is usually isolated to a bunch of guys with hardcore redneck/Texas/southern accents. Hey Eastbound yall gotcha bear sittin just past the 231. Or somebody talking politics or Jesus and thats when you just turn the radio off for a while.

 

Taking pictures.

Salt-n-pepper truck: salt truck
Care bear: bear stationed in a construction zone

 

Better just calling it a salt shaker.

 

Don't forget "sales associate with a customer." That one made me laugh when I first heard it.
