CB Talk

Being a truck driver, your CB becomes many things to you. Among the many items you can put in your truck to make it feel more like a mobile home on wheels (satellite radio, flat-screen tv with dish network, laptop, refrigerator, microwave, ps3, xbox, etc), your cb is by far the most important. You can go 11 hours straight (maximum legal driving limit per day) without any human contact except for on your cb. It becomes your friend to talk to, listen to, laugh at, cry to, gps, look-out, mentor, basically your all around good friend. The anonymity of it all makes it all the more interesting. Here's some cb lingo we've picked up and learned along the way!
