Trucker slang for stimulants (amphetamines or extra-strong caffeine pills), used to keep the driver awake and alert. Often used when driving late at night, or on a second shift when the driver should be pulled over and sleeping in a motel or rest stop.
Tom had to pull a three-day run to make it to St. Louis under deadline, so he popped some trucker pills and powered through the night
