The unnamed Trucker was one of two men having a conversation on CB radio which Hilda Ogden intercepted on Eddie Yeats's transceiver. She was fascinated by the pastime and even came up with her own handle - "Shady Lady". She did find it hard though to understand the slang-filled conversation when the first trucker ("Tricky Mickey") told his friend that there was a "smokescreen" (speed trap) on the road. When she tried to join in, she heard herself described as a "smoothleg on the side" at which point the second trucker "pulled the plug" and left Hilda and the first trucker to continue their conversation.
