How about I will take the front door or I have your back door?
How about ant eater? Short nosed sloped hood.
There have to be a lot more out there!! What can you come up with? Is there any slang words out there that relate to the sleeper or the outside of the truck? I am sure Terry had to have missed a few.

Well , I've run hopper bottom and know a lot of people running covered wagons hauling steel coils . Yes , I have heard a couple of people call hopper bottoms covered wagons . But look at a flatbed with sides and it does resemble an old covered wagon . The bows are higher . A grain truck really only has a tarp like a dump truck .

If you have a front door and a back door, you are in the rocking chair and do not have to watch for bears.

"Bear bait" - what I loooved to see, back when I used to exceed the speed limit, a little, because bear bait is someone exceeding it by a LOT, or otherwise behaving in some way that's sure to draw negative, or would that be negatory, attention from the bears. :7
