No CB. No Problem.

I've seen them as cheap as $50 new. I'd buy a GPS before a CB because I know I'd use it. A CB seems more like a toy than a tool. I understand why some people want them. I don't get the religious aspect.

CB is a tool. A lot of places that I load you have to call in on the CB give your load number and trailer number Before you can approach the scale.

Sounds to me like said check-point consists of a driving test.

Once in awhile I run into a situation where I'm asked if I have a CB. I'm guessing there are plenty of other drivers out there that don't have one since that seems to be a common question. Usually I use my cell phone instead. Sometimes someone comes out and knocks on the door. 99.9% of the time you just wait for the dock light to go green. CB a tool? Yes. But it's a tool that is not used often and so far never been necessary at this point in my short career. Never-the-less, I am considering eventually moving over to the dark side and purchasing a CB...someday...
