Truck Drivers Lingo

Down the highway shes all lock up Got a bear at my back door Just dropped off in shady town Heading down the big slab I-5 Need to get some go go juice 10-4 it was my travel agent Just passed 32 yard stick with bull dog He was skateboarding down the road Drove over an alligator flipped over My hundred mile coffee Chicken Coop coming up Turning on my chicken lights Filling out my comic book Two wheeler Evil Knievel parked on the side Wipin her feet through the snow Stay loaded go daddy go " My Sons Truck"

LOL, go go juice is diesel, comic book is a log book, an alligator is piece of a blown tire off a truck, shady town is LA, big slab is the highway, skateboarding is a flat bed trailer, Evil Knievel are cops on motorcycles, Wipin her feet is slipping on the ice, chicken lights are marker lights on a truck, chicken Coup is a weight station, a bear is a cop, travel agent is dispatch, yardstick is a mile marker phew! LOL
