Common Trucker Lingo on the CB Radio (and What It Really Means)

The Bottom Line

Life on the road can get lonely, but CB radios keep truckers connected. Whether it’s warning about traffic, sharing jokes, or just saying hi, these little radios create a big sense of community.

Even if you’re not a trucker, it’s fun to peek into the lingo—and who knows, maybe next time you’re on a road trip, you’ll hear someone shout “10-4, good buddy,” and actually know what they mean.
