Definitions
1
CB-radio nickname for a Freightliner truck — often used with a wink, since older Freightliners had a reputation for a rougher ride than Kenworths or Peterbilts (hence the 'shaker' part). Today Freightliner is the biggest Class 8 manufacturer in North America by volume; the Cascadia is everywhere. The nickname stuck regardless.
“Big fleet runs nothing but Freightshakers — easy on fuel, cheap to fix.”
