I learned some of it because my uncle was a truck driver and, when I was
young, there were a lot of pop culture references in the US about truckers (a
hit TV show about a trucker and his pet monkey, a hit song about a truck
convoy, etc.).   I do not remember much of it now, except that:

10-4 is over and out
10-20 is location (as in "what is your 10-20"?)

IIRC some of the other lingo I learned:

chicken coop - a highway rest area
bears - the police (and maybe more specifically, the state highway patrol)

That is about it.  :)
