Personal choice.
I ran with it on for many years. Bickering was always on. Hardly a peep about the traffic delays three times. All of those times, my gps has given me advanced warning to avoid it.
But, there are many on here that feel you have to have it on and listen or you are a worthless trucker.
CB, a dying truck driver tool, what y'all think??

So, the gps traffic warnings, is that standard on "trucker gps"? Are there android apps for it with audio warnings? Does a Qualcolm (I'm sure I'll have one, lol) have traffic warnings?Lilbit Thanks this. -

As i said before not having a radio on is like running shoes without shoelaces. i pulled over and sat out a wreck cleanup last week, it is still a useful tool for safety. Personally i'd rather be warned of a hazard. You gps is not going to know about something that just happened. But on the bright side i don't hear the radio rambo's very much... i guess the argue with a GPS or phone appBlaskowitz, SheepDog and Lilbit Thank this. -
Mine would get so bad, it was easier to turn it off. Then, you get used to the quiet. Turn it on again, and they are still at it.
Like I said, personal choice. -
Ever been surprised by a hazzard that you had no clue about ? "must be were you run"Blaskowitz and Lilbit Thank this. -
Blaskowitz and bartley Thank this.

Or the one that I saw on my gps and asked drivers about and they said there was no backup at all. Then a few miles later, it was backed up for miles.
I have a very good radio and can hear a long way off.
I rarely will even have it on anymore unless I am on another channel running with someone. -
that's why my radio only goes out 4 miles... sounds like yours is to powerful and picking up a lot you don't need to hear..
Blaskowitz Thanks this. -
True, but you would think I could at least hear over the median.
