✨ Today’s Term: Keep the Shiny Side Up

Meaning: A classic way to wish someone a safe trip.

When drivers say "Keep the shiny side up," they're reminding each other to stay safe and keep the truck upright on the road.

CB Example: "Have a good run, driver. Keep the shiny side up."
Translation: Drive safe and have a good trip.

đź“» Sometimes the best CB sayings aren't warnings or directions - they're reminders to look out for one another.

✨ Today’s Term: Deadhead 🚛

Meaning: Driving with an empty trailer - no freight on board.
When a driver is “deadheading,” they’re usually on the way to pick up their next load or repositioning after a delivery.

CB Example: “I’m deadheading about 100 miles to my next pickup.”
Translation: I’m driving empty to my next load.

📻 Not every mile on the road is loaded. Sometimes you’ve got to run empty to keep things moving.

✨ Today’s Term: Drop and Hook

Meaning: Dropping off one trailer and hooking up to another, usually to save time instead of waiting to be loaded or unloaded.

It’s one of the quickest ways to keep freight moving and drivers on schedule.

CB Example: “I’ve got a drop and hook at my next stop.”
Translation: I’ll be swapping trailers instead of waiting around.

Truck Smart Tuesday đźš› Watch for Turning Trucks at Intersections

Trucks often need extra space to make turns, especially right turns. You may see a truck swing wide or move into another lane before turning.

This is normal and necessary to safely clear the corner.

âś… Give trucks plenty of space at intersections
âś… Never try to squeeze between a turning truck and the curb
âś… Be patient and wait for the turn to be completed

✨ Today’s Term: Good Buddy 👋

Meaning: A friendly way to refer to another driver - like saying friend or buddy.

Back in the day, “good buddy” was commonly used on the CB as a casual, respectful greeting between drivers.

CB Example: “Appreciate the heads up, good buddy.”
Translation: Thanks for the info, friend.

đź“» While it started as a friendly term, its meaning has shifted over time, and not all drivers use it the same way today.

Truck Smart Tuesday đźš› Signal Early Around Trucks

Don’t make trucks guess your next move.

Using your turn signal early gives truck drivers time to adjust speed and space safely. Large trucks need more distance to react, and sudden lane changes can create dangerous situations.

Instead:
âś… Signal well in advance
âś… Give trucks time to react
âś… Make your movements predictable

Clear communication on the road helps keep everyone safe.

✨Today’s Term: Bobtail 🚛
Meaning: Driving a semi truck/tractor without a trailer attached.

When a driver is “bobtailing,” it means it’s just the truck (tractor) on the road - no trailer behind it.

CB Example: “I’m bobtailing over to grab my next load.”
Translation: I’m driving without a trailer to pick up my next load.

âš  It might look lighter, but bobtail trucks can actually be trickier to handle, especially when braking.
