Trucker slang for a driver who works the gearshift hard — specifically someone who speeds or drives aggressively, grinding through gears on a big rig. A gearjammer isn't your steady, law-abiding hauler; they're pushing the truck hard, eating up the miles and probably running hot on schedule. The term evokes the mechanical drama of operating a heavy vehicle at speed, all grinding metal and revving engines.
