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

Gri"...as he drove his four-wheeler out of the
pickle park, he got stuck behind a parking lot
doing 45..."shny
