Definitions
1
A driver pulling explosives, compressed flammable gas, or other hazmat that would erase a city block in a hard crash. The name is gallows humour — the cargo could turn you and your truck into a crater. Suicide jockeys run dedicated routes, can't tunnel through most cities, and have to placard everything correctly or the DOT crawls all over them.
“That suicide jockey out of Wichita runs dynamite to the mining sites.”
