A Trucker's Dictionary.
Ah, truckers. The great unwashed, unshaven, uneducated and underappreciated nomads of our country. These unique low-class trbadors sing songs of the true America: a rambling, pointless song without a "hook" that would make it on commercial radio. But how can we appreciate their alluring siren song witouth knowing how to translate their lingo? I'd like to help you out and provide this guide to trucker lingo.
