    Whenever I see drivers watching me backup I do extra pullups to get my truck perfectly even between the lines just to give them something to talk about. One of these days I might even get a CB so I can listen to what they are saying about me.

    Just kidding, I am never getting a CB.

    Do the little ones filter out all the nonsense spewed on the full sized ones?. If so, then maybe.

    Lol, exactly! The big strappers will tell you, you need a cb because that's how truckers communicate about scales, weather, cop locations, bla bla bla. That's all fine but the 99% BS that's spewed on there is enough for me to keep it turned off.

    I will sometimes offer to help a driver, if I see that they are having problems.

    However, sometimes when it looks like a driver is having problems, they sometimes take offense when you offer to help.

    So, I used to offer to help more often, but after running into a few ######## that rudely refused an offer to watch their blind side, I offer less often.
