    I know there are a lot of terms thrown around by the vets that I don't get. Some are more obvious than others, but not everyone thinks along the sames lines all the time.

    LTL
    OTR = I know it stands for Over the Road. Does that mean long hauls? Little home time?
    O/O = Pretty obvious but maybe not to everyone. Owner/Operator.
    Intermodal

    etc.

    I've heard of a hashtag, but I don't bother with them.

    What is a hastag?

    There is no hastag in Twitter lingo.

    It is a hashtag.
    A renaming of the number or pound symbol - #.

    (fill in the blank) - a driver that does a lease then can't figure out why he gets the heavy loads that burn more fuel and the company drivers get the lighter loads that burn less fuel.
