I'm a new solo driver. I notice alot of other trucks have these radios in them but I don't have one yet ( 4 weeks into my career) and I have yet to run into a scenario where I wish I had one. Is there a real reason to having a CB radio? Is it really helpful to have one? I ask because they are not cheap and I only buy what I need ( I don't buy unnecessary gadgets if you will )
Thanks!
Pros of a CB radio?

Sometimes it's nice to know what lanes are shutdown up ahead before you become the sphincter hat that waits until the last available opportunity to merge.
Sometimes it's nice to be told or tell someone that they have a light out/flickering.
Sometimes it's nice to tell/be told that securement is loose.
Sometimes a local guy can tell you what lane to be in while going through an unfamiliar city so you don't miss your exit or cause an accident trying not to miss it.
Is that Loves full or are there a few spaces left? Maybe I'll chance it and run down to the Petro with my remaining 12min or maybe just maybe I'll ask if there's any parking before I get to the exit.
Quite a few of the stupid things we see being done daily could be avoided or prevented by using a cb.

9) you might be able to get a report on bears hiding in the bushes
8) you might be able to get some directions to a place that you are getting close to
7) you might be able to communicate with customers loading docks, that use the cb as well
6) you might be able to get information on a naked 400 pound transvestite coming up along side you
5) you might be able to get a warning of emergency vehicles on the side of the road, nearly in the travel lane
4) you might be able to talk with someone for a while to kill the boredom
3) you might be able to live with out a high dollar super-deluxe set up, and just get one under about $150.00
2)you might be able to drive naked and announce that
and the number one reason why you might want one..??
