Chicken Feed: Truckers' Code For Meth

Chicken Feed, eah?

I guess too many folks figured out what,...........

"Can anybody help me?" means.

As in, .................

"Can anybody help me for the next 800 miles?"

Sometimes followed by,........................

"I got a hot load headin' to hell
and it was due there yesterday ---
gotta make up some time. SOMEbody HELP me?"

 

Now that's just beyond stupid but I was married once to an idiot like that, heavens not he wasn't a driver, he didn't work.

Funny the article didn't mention why they really do call it Chicken Feed.....

If I really told ya

You'd CUT and run......

 

Are you thinkin' "Feed"?
or "Feet"?

I would think "Chicken Feed" is a signal for a smaller amount "go-fast". Times are rough and the dollar is gettin' tighter. Gotta cut corners SOMEwhere, I guess.


I've heard Meth referred to as
Go Fast
Giddy-Up
Coast-to-Coast
Honey-Do
Bump
Crutch
Boost
Kick
Inspiration
"Motorvation"
High Road
Toothpicks (like to hold their eyelids open)
Industrial Strength, (coffee) (soda) (tea) (etc)
Black Beauty
"X"
_ hit
Stuff
Candy
Bonus
Cold Medicine
Refreshment

Push *(can indicate they want pure stuff to shoot in their veins. Like "pure" street stuff is gonna happen.)*
Ice *(Any "ice" in the parking lot tonight? ((In the summer time)) ).
Crystal *(Has anybody seen Crystal tonight?)*
Rocket Fuel/Rocket Man
Stairway to Heaven *(I'm lookin' for the Stairway to Heaven, and I can't find it on my atlas. Can anybody help me? ~~~ Which just might be the best description)
Heavy Metal *(Anyone here into Heavy Metal and wanna trade for some blue grass? ("pot")*

These things can come up in Big truck truck stops during what seems like innocent, idle conversation betwixt one or more Big truck drivers over the CB radio. Seems innocent. But it's not a bad idea to listen to the garbage for a few minutes, then decide if THAT truck stop is REALLY where you wanna spend the night.


I'm sure NOT saying ALL Big truck stops are like that.
Nope.
But SOME ARE.
Nice to know which ones.
Ya reckon.

And be cautious of lumpers. Especially if they're working in teams and seem to know each other. If you reveal too much info, they've been known to distract Big truck drivers enough so that their partner(s) can get into your Big truck. And it ain't to just look around.

And, if you arrive at a warehouse knowing your load takes about 5 hours to lump, and the first two hours the lumper got very little done, then break time.
Oh great!
Already an hour behind and it's only been two hours.

After a 15 to 30 minute break, your lumper returns and has you completely unloaded in an hour and a half --- out the door.
Hmmmmmmmm
Record breaking time!

Y'all can pretty well bet he indulged in some "chicken feed" out there in the parking lot during the break.

Bummers though, when it takes $100 worth of chicken feed to earn $60 unloading Big truck trailers.
Is that any way to run a business?

 

There a TA Truckstop in Knoxville, TN off I-40 that has someone allways on the radio tring to sell "High Speed Chicken Feed"
I didn't know this was meth!

 

See?!
