Why is channel 19 so quite

Years ago when in highshcool I ran a cb and linear in my vehicle, and on long drives would listen to truckers. I have just recently decided to add cb to my hunting truck , and I found there is not nearly as much talk on channel 19. Is this due to my area I travel I95 every day from Dunn, NC to Fayetteville, NC, or does everyone now use other channels. I really enjoyed listening to the conversations and am dissapointed they seem to be few and far between now.

I really don't know, But around here everyone on ch21 just local people. Some of my friends just talk and play around on it at night. Mainly to stay in touch. I really don't turn mine on anymore. But my cell phone will not stop ringing! I always thought it was cool to listen to truckers talk to each other. As a kid,I use to listen until I went to sleep At nite, When my dad drove trucks. Great stuff

19 is the primary channel out east and NC certainly has plenty of chatter on 40 and 95 without a doubt. I traveled 95 frequently. I just saw Dunn there in your post. There should be plenty of chatter there with the truckstops.

Chalk it up to cell phones, xm radio books on tape and people just getting tired of the crapola on the radio especially in the east. The east coast has the biggest bunch of babies going on the CB! REAL drivers just turn the squelch and RF gain back and keep on driving. It is still a needed tool and when you don't have one or run with it off whats the point!

I'm in Knoxville, TN. right now and if you turn on the CB you hear nothing but idiots babbling about nothing. The east definetly has more than it's share of dummies on the radio.

That's the biggest thing right there. When we started, your two options were a CB and an AM radio, which was basically worthless at night. It was rare for a driver to have a TV in his truck. A 5 inch black and white was a luxury.
Now with satellite radio, Blackberries, laptops, Playstation etc. the CB is getting pushed to the backburner.
As far as the trashtalking, that has always been there. But when you are younger and participating in it, it seems alright. As you mature you hear those guys and think, "no way I was like that"

Most do not turn it on around certain areas(truckstops,New Jersey,ok that was redundant).To much BS.I turned mine on to say hi to a friend I saw heading the other way in West Memphis

Called him on the phone instead.

It has gotten worse as the CDL mills have churned more and more feeble minded steering wheel holders

Just a condition of the world.

Please! Get off your high horse lol. I met plenty of old hands out there that are way more scary than a lot of newbs I've seen. Not to mention, major accidents involving fatalities are at their lowest in history!

Truck drivers lol. What a trip!
