Trucker Slang: Top 20 Funny Sayings

Top 20 Trucker Slang Sayings | K&J Trucking 

Knowing CB lingo has always been part of being a trucker. Movies like Smokey and the Bandit or Convoy would be pretty boring without the code. With our world full of iPhones and GPS, the art of communicating on the Citizens Band radio is dwindling; at K&J Trucking, we love trucker slang. Read on to remember the good 'ol days, learn some industry jargon, or just for a good laugh! 

1. Town Clown—Local Police Officer 

There are all sorts of codes for Police Officers—most notably, bear. Names like town clown help differentiate between the bears!

2. Motion Lotion—Fuel 

Every trucker out there has an opinion on whether gasoline or diesel trucks are better. No matter the truck, you still need some motion lotion to keep you going!

3. Skate Board—Flat Bed Trailer 

This one is pretty self explanatory, so we figured we'd include the best load out there: trucker pets.

5. Wiggle Wagon—Truck with More Than One Trailer

6. Organ Donor—Motorcyclist without a Helmet

While this one is a little vulgar, it is a great reminder to drive safely! 

7. Salt Shaker—Snow Plow

Salt shakers are just as important on the road as they are on the dinner table!

Sometimes spending long amounts of time in your truck, especially in hot summer months and cold winter months, is difficult. Nap traps are great... as long as you can escape!

14. Driving Award—Speeding Ticket

Just because The Fast and the Furious series has been nominated for, and won, many awards doesn't mean you should try to mimic them! 

15. 3s and 8s—Love and Kisses

One of the hardest things for truckers is leaving their family; they often sacrifice time with their own family so you can make memories with yours. At K&J, we pride ourselves on being a family owned company that gets you home to give your family 3s and 8s in person!

Sometimes drivers swerve because they are distracted or injured. Sometimes they just like to change lanes.
