picked up a CB any lingo help?

Be carefull which handle you choose, I was driving a Greyhound furniture truck so naturally mine was Big Dog, which got shortened to BD, which always sounded to me, like someone was calling for VD. Never liked answering to VD much.

Huh??? I don't know what yer using on the trail, but I haven't seen anything else being used..... please don't tell me the "new gen" 'wheelers are using Nextel Direct Connect..... that damn beeping would get annoying on the trail!

FRS/GMRS handhelds clipped on the jacket/shirt. Sounds like they're standing right next to you.

And a 2M Ham radio for raising the medevac from anywhere if needed. Gotta know where the repeaters are or have the badass directional antenna. ;)
 
Silverstreak-

There is a Cletus Judd song that covers everything that's been said here, and more.

If you want, I can email it to ya. That should get you started.

For those of you not familiar, it's called the "CB Lingo Dictionary"

I'm not talking about being on trail, I'm talking about on the road. It is very few and far between the personal vehicles that use CB on the roadways. 18 wheelers for the most part, but it is few there, too.
 
Well a few used round these parts are...

county bounty - cop
ex: "theres a county bounty at...."

yard stick - mile marker
ex: "just passed the 10 yard stick"

4 wheeler - car/truck/passenger vehicle
ex: "we got a 4 wheeler stuck in the median..."

ex using all 3: "you got a 4wheeler stuck in the median at the 10 yard stick, and 3 county bounties on the scene"
 
On the occasions when I'm out in the XJ on the daily drive, I usually hear police referred to as "bears", and when traffic grinds to a halt, the truckers call it a "brake check".

Slight correction... I believe the term is 'county mountie', but could be wrong.

Truly, theirs is a rich and colourful language with just a hint of vibrance. O noble helmspeople of the asphalt steeds, we salute you.

Why would a steed need a helmsman?

Or be construed to be made out of asphalt, for that matter? :D

True, I didn't even catch that. It sounded poetic though.

Ah, breaker one-nine, this here's the rubber duck. you gotta copy on me, pig pen, c'mon?

it's clean clear to flag town, c'mon. yeah, that's a Big 10-4 there, pig pen, yeah, we definitely got the front door, good buddy.
mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy...

Was the dark of the moon on the sixth of june
In a kenworth pullin' logs
Cab-over pete with a reefer on
And a jimmy haulin' hogs
We is headin' for bear on i-one-oh
'bout a mile outta shaky town
I says, "pig pen, this here's the rubber duck.
"and i'm about to put the hammer down."

[chorus]
'cause we got a little convoy
Rockin' through the night.
Yeah, we got a little convoy,
Ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on and join our convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way.
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
'cross the u-s-a.
Convoy!


[on the cb]
Ah, breaker, pig pen, this here's the duck. and, you wanna back off them hogs?
yeah, 10-4, 'bout five mile or so. ten, roger. them hogs is gettin' in-tense up here.

By the time we got into tulsa town,
We had eighty-five trucks in all.
But they's a roadblock up on the cloverleaf,
And them bears was wall-to-wall.
Yeah, them smokies is thick as bugs on a bumper;
They even had a bear in the air!
I says, "callin' all trucks, this here's the duck.
"we about to go a-huntin' bear."

[chorus]
'cause we got a great big convoy
Rockin' through the night.
Yeah, we got a great big convoy,
Ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on and join our convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way.
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
'cross the u-s-a.
Convoy!


[on the cb]
Ah, you wanna give me a 10-9 on that, pig pen? negatory, pig pen;
you're still too close.
yeah, them hogs is startin' to close up my sinuses. mercy sakes, you better back off another ten.


Well, we rolled up interstate 44
Like a rocket sled on rails.
We tore up all of our swindle sheets,
And left 'em settin' on the scales.
By the time we hit that chi-town,
Them bears was a-gettin' smart:
They'd brought up some reinforcements
From the illinoise national guard.
There's armored cars, and tanks, and jeeps,
And rigs of ev'ry size.
Yeah, them chicken coops was full'a bears
And choppers filled the skies.
Well, we shot the line and we went for broke
With a thousand screamin' trucks
An' eleven long-haired friends a' jesus
In a chartreuse micra-bus.


[on the cb]
Ah, rubber duck to sodbuster, come over.
yeah, 10-4, sodbuster? lissen, you wanna put that micra-bus right behind that suicide jockey?
yeah, he's haulin' dynamite, and he needs all the help he can get.


Well, we laid a strip for the jersey shore
And prepared to cross the line
I could see the bridge was lined with bears
But i didn't have a dog-goned dime.
I says, "pig pen, this here's the rubber duck.
"we just ain't a-gonna pay no toll."
So we crashed the gate doing ninety-eight
I says "let them truckers roll, 10-4."

[chorus]
'cause we got a mighty convoy
Rockin' through the night.
Yeah, we got a mighty convoy,
Ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on and join our convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way.
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
'cross the u-s-a.


Convoy! ah, 10-4, pig pen, what's your twenty?
Convoy! omaha? well, they oughta know what to do with them hogs out there fer shure. well, mercy
Convoy! sakes, good buddy, we gonna back on outta here, so keep the bugs off your glass and the bears off your...
Convoy! tail. we'll catch you on the flip-flop. this here's the rubber duck on the side.
Convoy! we gone. 'bye,'bye.
