Narrative:

I had just landed on runway 12 at north las vegas airport. I was told to contact ground. I exited at taxiway B. I called ground and said 'ground cargo flight off at taxiway B to parking.' I was then told by the controller that I needed to tell him what runway I was off at since several runways were in use. I apologized and taxied to parking. The correct phraseology would have been, 'north las vegas ground, cargo flight off of runway 12 at taxiway B, taxi to parking.'
