“Are You A Truck Driver?”

Hello everyone, As I was talking with some of my non trucking friends, some of them thought that I was talking in an foreign language. They asked me, “what in heavens name was I talking about?” Sitting back and reflecting on the conversation, I noticed that most of us drivers do speak a different language. So in the spirit of Jeff Foxworthy, I thought of a few words or phrase’s that might be funny and amusing at the same time!

#1. If you fuel up instead of gas up…….you might be a truck driver!

#2. If you call the dotted line in the middle of the road a zipper….. you might be a truck driver!

#3. If you call a weight station a chicken coop…… you might be a truck driver!

#4. If you call a Highway Patrolmen a bear….. you might be a truck driver!

#5. If you refer to a lady of the night as a lot lizard….. you might be a truck driver!

#6. If you refer to a mile marker as a yard stick….. you might be a truck driver!

#7. If a handle is a nick name….. you might be a truck driver!

#8. If a highway patrolmen in a white auto is a Polar Bear…. you might be a truck driver!

#9. If a blown tire on the road is referred to as a Gator….. you might be a truck driver!

#10. If you refer to an automobile as a 4 wheeler….. you might be a truck driver!

And the list goes on and on. I’m sure you have a few that I did not mention. I would love to hear your phrases and post them along with the one’s here. I hope you have fun with this very short list. Until the next truck stop!

    Another phrase ~ in South Africa a peeled off retread is reffered to as a ‘dead camel’.

    Also love it! If you don’t like fat girls because of the extra weight on your steers, you might be a trucker. If you have seen every city in America so much that you start avoiding them, you might be a truck driver. If you refer to rest stops as pickle parks and call your wife a jump seat warmer, you might be a truck driver. I will let others have some.
