wanting to listen to CB without a radio??

In a simple way of explaining.....


NO.

 

I think you're getting a CDL for some wrong reasons... Lol



P.S.

Online...not sure. But you can get a scanner...that should work or just pickup a cheap cb and listen that way... If you really need to - not sure why? I try to keep mine off as much as possible.

 

Was suppose to be a joke - getting a CDL just so you can talk on the cb...

 

It's full of cursing, disrespect, drivers acting like toddlers, anything stupid you can imagine a person can say or act on it and that is cb radio today. I keep mine off as well. The only time I really turn it on anymore is when a customer says they will communicate with me on it to put me in a dock or around the truck stop until I'm parked, just in case someone says stop because some idiot jumped behind me or something. It's not worth having on anymore. CB radio shops are going out of business due to the lack of interest in them. Anymore, I get more entertainment on Pandora Radio, Stitcher Rafio, or on here...

 

If you're in a town with some home basers sitting on 19 forget it. If you are out in the country near an interstate or a place like a rock quarry you can actually still hear truckers talk about work!

 

You need a CB to listen, but it doesn't have to break the bank. You can get a plain little Cobra for $50 @ Radio Shack. It's nothing fancy, but it works. I have it in one of my pickups. (I think I have a $60 Midland in the other) Add a magnetic or window mount antenna, and you're in business for under $100. And, it's portable. You can move it from one vehicle to another.

Just a suggestion, but you could spend a little more and have a nicer radio for when you do get your CDL. Most likely, you will have to furnish your own CB anyway.
This is the radio that I have in my KW: https://www.cobra.com/detail/model-...display-and-bluetooth-wireless-technology.cfm
