CB Trucker Culture

CB trucker culture refers to the unique social and communication practices among truck drivers who use Citizens Band (CB) radios. This culture emerged in the 1970s, allowing drivers to share information such as road conditions, weather, and potential hazards. It fosters a sense of community and camaraderie, with established slang and codes, such as "10-4" for acknowledgment. CB radios became a lifeline for drivers, promoting safety and collaboration on long hauls. This culture reflects the values of independence and mutual support inherent in the trucking profession.
