Left the road 12 years ago for a local gig, but couldn't imagine hitting the road without my tweaked Cobra 29. It was my second set of eyes, my co-driver, it was for mines and your safety. It was for stand-by and docking instructions. It was for listening to old timers tales to keep us awake on that dark stretch. It was for alerting drivers to "back it down" when that four wheeler rolls over in front of us. For the exit number to get some fatback with cornbread and nanner nanner puddin. You could even "kick it up for Big Country" down in West Memphis for that green smoke, white smoke, purple smoke and High speed Chicken Feed Kaa-moan! In my opinion, a CB is a truckers lifeline for countless reasons and I'm shocked to learn nobody is using them much anymore. I'm thinking about returning to the road soon, and if I do you can bet I'll have it on. Be safe.
Do truckers use the CB anymore?

you were not around in the 80's were you?
I find them just as bad as they were in the 80's and 90's, not a bit of difference.
When they dropped the license requirement and stopped enforcing the regs, the morons and scum came out in force.MartinFromBC, Another Canadian driver and Still undecided Thank this. -

I was going down I-476 Monday. Came up behind a bulk tanker, something didn't look quite right. When he tapped the brakes I could see one of the maxi brake cans was moving. Called on the radio, no response. Pulled up beside him tapped the horn and waved the mike at him. Tried again, no response. He did slow down a bit but didn't pull off to check anything. Was hoping to save him issues with either law enforcement or a breakdown if airline pulled loose.
