If you ever do fulfill that dream, you'll need to familiarize yourself with Trucker Language. (I got this stuff from Reader's Digest, BTW, although I am related to a truck driver.)
Alligators: strips of rubber from old tires lying on the road ahead, to be avoided
Condo: semi with a big sleeping compartment
Covered Wagon: flatbed truck covered with a tarp
Chicken Coop: scale and/or weigh station
Four-Wheelers: cars
Parking Lot: Car-carrier truck
Pickle Park: rest area
Saltshakers: snowplow / salt trucks
Stagecoach: bus
Wiggle-Wagon: the second of two trailers hauled by one semi tractor
