Some Truckin Education
|
I have heard some of them before too

why do they call trucks with a bunch of lights chicken trucks? my dad never could tell me.
|
It's kind of a mystery. The best story I've gotten about it is back in the old days, the guys would turn all their lights out and blow by the scales at night. It meant they were chicken to go in the scales. The other story is that when they did that the chicken, aka. the dot would come out of the chicken coop and get ya. I've put a lot of time tryin to find out why everything that involves truckin involves chickens. If anybody has any other stories, feel free to share. These are the best ones I've been able to come up with. It might just be because the Chicken trucks are the biggest, purtiest, fastest ones on the road. And most of'em ain't scared of nothin.

aaahhh cool. thanks. all of them make sense too.

I've only heard San Antonio called "The Alamo" not Alamo City.
|
Listen to the songs "Ratchetjaw, Convoy, and Super Slab Showdown" by C.W. McCall, they explain it pretty easily, I learned alot of those when I was little riding shotgun with my grandfather running grain up north to the big silo's. there are a few variations of the terms but they all pretty much mean the same thing.

Some more education for you truckers that me and my boss were talkin about today. If your definiton of a triple digit truck has a decimal point anywhere in it, you are what's called, "In the Way"
ex. 67.2mph vs. 125mph :raygun: |
