    Heavy haul has interesting terms.

    Take the parts of an articulated trailer.

    -step deck
    -bridge
    -flip axle
    -jeep (as in Wrangler or CJ-5?)
    -dolly (as in hello?)
    -gooseneck
    -booster (as in a puppy shot at the vet's office or a space rocket engine?)
    -fixed spreader
    -hydraulic equalizing spreader
    -flip necks
    -dropdeck
    -modular deck
    -deck insert

    Then there are "pilot cars" (escort vehicle)?

    Route surveys.

    The big yellow (Wide, Oversize, Long) Load signs on the vehicle are called a banners.
    There are strobe beacon lights.

    This idiot also pulls this crap on another forum I'm on. I think the consensus is that he's a bored 12 year old.

    "1998 Pontiac Firebird Formula 5.0"

    Yeah, uh huh, that's your car.

    If the OP is bugging you, use the IGNORE feature and you won't have to put up with him anymore.
