The list of Loram Acronyms is long, and I’m sure I
missed a couple. As you can see Loram almost has
its own language. I’m sure you’ve all experienced
something similar while talking to friends or family
members about our company. You find yourself
dropping acronyms like FCC, SBC or EAM then
you realize they are looking at you like WTH
(What the Heck) are you talking about? Anyway I
hope this list helps you navigate our lingo when
someone speaks “Loram” to you. That’s all I
got…. GTG (Got to Go), TTYL (Talk to You Lat-
er) GB (Goodbye).
