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

Highway Gators (No, Not the Animal Kind)

“Watch out for the gator!” No, there’s not an alligator on I-95. It’s CB speak for a huge chunk of blown truck tire lying in the road. They’re big, heavy, and can seriously mess up your ride.

Smaller rubber bits? Those are “baby gators.” Still annoying, but not as dangerous.
