A lot of it is just dispatcher shorthand.

OFC probably mean Officer or Office
A13-007R looks like an officer's call sign
ADVS probably means "advises"
13-S2 is probably the supervisor's call sign (hence the S)
10-39 looks like it means "message delivered" based on my Google-Fu
ENTAC = Emergency Notification and Tactical Alert Center

So..... all that means:

************************************************

Officer A13-007R is still holding at the closure at the top of Carson Pass. Blowers are supposed to be coming through shortly. Will get to Officer at some point.

DTI Truck jackknifed blocking both lanes and stuck on 88 westbound side. 30 cars backed up.

Message delivered to Kirkwood at (209) 258-7224. They copy that Carson Pass is closed.

Message delivered to Supervisor at office

Message delivered to Emergency Notification and Tactical Alert Center

Officer A13-007R advises roadway is currently closed.

Currently doing escorts for vehicles in both directions. Roadway partially open.

Per District 10, the pass just closed due to visibility and the spur will be closing at 1pm for avalanche control. The website is in the process of being updated.

Message delivered to Emergency Notification and Tactical Alert Center / Officer Guiber.

Message delivered to Supervisor / Notify ENTAC

Officer A13-007R requests a Signal Alert be issued.

************************************************

That's my best guess. I'm not affiliated with CHP and we use different 10 codes at my agency, so it could be slightly different.

Yeah, I found that too, but it didn't have some of the dispatcher shorthand. I guess you just have to think like a person trying to type as fast as possible to figure it out.

I was sitting at Kirkwood yesterday watching that incident feed hoping I was going to be able to get home over Carson Pass. It finally opened at about 2000. Made it home by 2230.
 
That looks like (The A137R) is a Caltrans call sign. Give me a few and I'll look it up.

Edit: The 13 radio prefix is for the South Lake Tahoe CHP Office, so it may be CHP using different style call signs during a large event or when on special detail. Can't find anything on Caltrans call signs.

A13-007R
Caltrans is referred to in the logs as DOT (Department of transportation) or CALTRANS. Caltrans does not use CHP radio and not familiar with that areas SOP but the A at the beginning means the officer is a day shift unit, the 13 is the prefix, the radio traffic would leave out the A though.

By the CAD log the officer was stuck up on 88 with a bunch of stranded motorists.

OFC in short for office
OFCR is short for officer

I was gonna guess the Adam was for days (since the CAD looked like a long shift) - Robert is for rover? I'm used to call signs like 19-682M.:p

But they couldn't come up with something more understandable than SIG?

Sig was a LA radio broadcasting exec. Loyd C. "Sig" Sigmon is where the alert got it's name.
