Truckers and Travelers

Truckers share the rarest of professional bonds – something that could be deemed “highway camaraderie.” This phenomenon rose to prominence in the 1970s and ’80s during the height of trucking culture. CB radios were popular communication devices that allowed truckers to adopt their own complex code of the road. As with any group, this common language served to bind truckers together.

Highway camaraderie is also on display in the truck stops of America. These are the gathering places where weary road warriors can rest up, fuel up, shower and swap a few stories. When life on the road grows lonely, truckers can always stop and reaffirm their passion at a truck stop.
