Well, I will try and explain it in Very Simple term's and leave the Bad Language terms out.
Pickle Park = State Rest Area / Pitstop
Lumper = Refer's to people who will Unload your Box Van / Trailer for a fee, If you do not want to unload it yourself.
Strawberry Patch = Some refer to it as the Median, other's the DITCH.
There is a Federal ANTI-LUMPER Law that states the Driver Cannot be forced to pay a Lumper.
That is why I and the 1st Sargant only hauled FLAT BED. Takes a Crane or Forklift to put it on and take it off.
We would sit or watch a movie or sleep while they were unloading us and our money stayed in our pocket's.

The term strawberry patch is also reffered to as a very strong signal.
How many more CB terms can you come up with?
This should be interesting!

OK, let us see if we can go back several years to the old AM days.
yard stick: mile marker on an interstate
City kiddy: local police crusier
county mounty: sheriff
full grown bear: state police crusier.
bear in the air: police helicopter.
bear in the bushes: police car hiding in the pull off in the trees.
bear taking pictures: police car on the side of the road with radar speed trap
road is ruff at mile marker 91: police car with radar at that point.
keep the shiney side up and the dirty side down: keep the car or truck on the road.
beaver: your best girl or wife.
seat cover: cute girl in a car.
brake for a radio check: no one is talking to me, I want to talk to some one, most times they know their radio works.
got your ears on: are you listing on this channel?
Ok, I've given you folks a starter, now let's see what the rest of you have. Yankee |

I always used BACK DOOR as the truck following me.
A lot of time's we would have two or more Company driver's delivering to the same place.
I would take the Front Door and the other driver would hang maybe 1/2 to 3/4 mile back as the Back Door.
And when we were really Moving, I Alway's wanted a back door to keep me informed of any Bear's that might have jumped on behind me.
OH!
GATOR ON THE ZIPPER = Blown tire on the Dotted Center Line.
