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

Georgia Overdrive = Risky Business

When a trucker says they’re going into “Georgia overdrive,” they’re putting the truck in neutral to coast downhill. Sounds chill, right? But it can actually be dangerous if the truck picks up too much speed.

Sometimes it’s to save fuel, sometimes it’s to make up for lost time. Either way, if someone says it on the radio, it’s smart to keep your distance.
