I know I am replying to a relatively old message, but I am a bit behind... 
Currently I am a truck driver here in California :-( . I have been all 
across the USA and small portions of our neighbors to the north, Canada. I 
just wanted to correct some things, as I understand them, if that is OK.

10-4 - Acknowledge, affirmative, OK, etc.

 MP> 10-20 is location (as in "what is your 10-20"?)

Correct

 MP> chicken coop - a highway rest area

Chicken coop is a weigh/inspection station
Rest areas are called, among other things, pickle parks.

 MP> bears - the police (and maybe more specifically, the state highway
 MP> patrol)

Correct

 MP> That is about it.  

There are many others, but I cannot bring them to mind.
