Serah, I think I would rather take the time to learn any other language over trucker language honestly. It's bad, really bad.

Yeah, it is still used. It`s not constant though so there will be no need to hire a translator

It is true that there is a lot of harsh language on the CB, but, I enjoy when I hear (and use when I know what I am talking about) the jargon unique to truckers. I believe it promotes camaraderie and is part of trucking history that can be kept alive, like, a tradition.

Daniel B. Some of the words a trucker might use could be very helpful, ie., Black eye A headlight out. "Driver going eastbound, you've got a black eye". What if another one passed by you and you heard A Full-grown bear is on your front door. Maybe not everyone uses these terms but "its always good to know, coz you never know"!!!
