I disagree.  10-100 means I have to go #1, and 10-200 means I have to go #2. 🤣

Carrie aka Frog: Would a cop, taking a leak on the side of the road interest you?

Bandit:  Yes, it would! He's taking a 10-100.

Carrie aka Frog: At least, it's better than 10-200.

Hey if 10 codes work with your coms, it works and isn't dumb.

Lol, I have to admit when someone uses a 10 code other than 10-4 or 10-100, I have no idea what they mean.

(I also assume they are of a certain age or might be tactical LARPing.)

If you use them, you be you, use 10 codes, wear 5.11, have fun... there's room for all!

I volunteer with the local Sheriff's office, and they prohibit 10-codes for radio use, just plain speech.  The county I used to live in (California) only used 10-codes, and I suspect it is because that county had over 10x the population and calls.  Hmm...

Most law enforcement I’ve been involved with didn’t use 10codes just codes like code 2 no light or siren but get here quick code 3 full lights and sirens get here fast code 4 clear ect…. 
 

10- codes are very useful for relaying info quick and easy to understand.  On a busy radio it rather hear 10-4 then “I understand” or im 10-19 rather then I’m in my way.

the FCC says t0 codes are premissable but i can you that 98% of Generation Z has no idea what the most common 10 code, 10-4 means..   Before i retired, i would always have fun answering simple yes questions emails from these young folks with a simple 10-4..  It amazed me that most these folks would answer back,   Ahh??  or what do you mean or what does that mean...    But since the FCC says 10-codes are permissible,,   10-Code away and have fun..

As far as Ten Codes for a particular type of freight truck, I wouldn't have a clue.

Bull Dog Mack = MACK Truck Cabover or Conventional

Cabover Pete with a reefer = Cabover Peter Built Track Hauling a Refrigerated Trailer.

Jimmy Hauling Hogs = GMC Cabover or Conventional Hauling Pigs or other Livestock.

Freight Shaker = Freight Liner Truck

Can on Back = Any type of Liquid Manifest Trailer
