私のいつものスタンドでは『オライ!オライ!』って、言ってました。

The cutest demonstration, as a minecraft boat is backed up, one player does the "beep beep beep" of a truck in reverse, and another echoes "オライ" "オライ" オライ"

Here's a less-cute, actual garbage truck:

6:57 timestamp: "オレーーオレーー  ストップ!"

17 second clip, "お" is barely pronounced at all:

Here's quick tutorial on how to back up a vehicle. Term used repeatedly throughout. Pretty sure that's not a long vowel

  Comments:
I was going to propose adding "オライ" as a visible form, hence all the research. But after looking at everything I think this is mostly a spoken phenomenon, and people shouldn't be encouraged to *write* it is this way.

Nonetheless, I "*heard* オライ and wanted to see if it was here, and couldn't find it.  You hear this all the time when a work truck or garbage truck is in reverse, and someone is guiding.  I don't think there is usually a long "o" at the beginning in this rhythmic "オライ オライ オライ" context. (オライ is repeated so long as the driver should continue in reverse).

I wouldn't mind オライ with a note, but we don't even do this on 雰囲気 (I might make a comment there...)

I'd note, I don't think the "it's safe to continue backing up" form is [int].

I think it's general. Best kept as 1 sense.
