We recently taught you some of the CB codes you would be hearing on the road as a new trucker along with what they mean. Now, we are dedicated to teaching you 10-codes. Once you know both the CB codes and the 10-codes that are common for truck drivers, you’ll be one step closer to feeling more comfortable with your new career.
