georgia overdrive

n. Trucker-speak for coasting down a hill or more often a mountain with the transmission disengaged. 18-wheelers can only go so fast, and the engines slow them down when coasting, so to go faster they take the engine out of gear. Runaway truck ramps were built for people who do this.
Trucker: My load is late. I'll have to switch on my georgia overdrive and get in the hammer lane while I go down this mountain. I might fly off a cliff, but if I don't maybe my load will be a little bit less late.

it's on the right 

road rage slang. what you yell when someone is going slow when you want to go faster. Meant to inform them that the gas pedal is on the right, so that they may feel free to use it at any time. Use it only if you are quite certain that their gas pedal is actually on the right.
Yo dump truck/cement mixer/old lady in buick, it's on the right!

break 1-9 

Trucker speak. Should only be used to introduce yourself on channel 19 on Citizen's Band. For other channels, say "break 20", "break 21", etc. It's funny to hear people say break 1-9 on like channel 5 though.
Trucker1: Break 1-9.
Trucker2: 10-4.
