Definitions
1
From a trucker's seat, the world divides into rigs and everything else. 'Everything else' is a four wheeler — your car, SUV, pickup, whatever. Said with the faint condescension you'd expect from someone driving 18 wheels who has to deal with civilians cutting them off all day. Often paired with a warning: 'four wheeler in your blind spot, driver.'
“Watch your right, four wheeler trying to squeeze in between us and that off-ramp.”
