4 wheeler getting a CB.

I only had a CB in my old Jeep TJ. dident talk on it much but there was some good entertainment on it for long trips me and my girlfriend took.

 

Easy to say now. Let's see your stance on it after your first year of listening to Ch. 19. Seriously. There's a whole bunch of 30-somethings, 40-somethings, 50-somethings, etc. who still can't seem to shake off adolescence. You'll see for yourself.
By the way, if you ever think of having work done on your CB, I'd highly recommend avoiding all the shops in NC, especially the one in Kenly off of I95 (exit 105, IIRC). If you hop on I85 and head south to Duncan, SC, there's a TA Travel Center off of... exit 63, I believe. Stomper has a CB shop there, and I highly recommend him.

Oh, yeah... if you're rolling through the RDU area, and you happen across a construction site being paved by Rea Contracting, their dump trucks (except for Puryear) typically on Channel 10. Puryear (Puryear Transport, not Puryear Tank Lines) is prone to running on Channel 14. The Rea Contracting asphalt plants monitor Channel 4, but you're not likely to hear too much chatter there. The Wake Stone rock quarries monitor Channel 31... you'll hear the most chatter at the quarries on Harrison Ave. in Cary, and Business 64 in Knightdale. The Martin-Marietta rock quarry on Old Garner Road in Garner monitors Channel 1 (in the yard - scales use Channel 8), and it's located right next to I40 (you can get to it either from exit 306 (US70) or exit 303 (Jones Sausage Road). There's a Pepsi plant on Jones Sausage Road where the security monitors Channel 10... they tend to get a hissy fit if they hear you on "their" channel, so I'd always jump on that one and give them a friendly reminder that it's citizens band, and they can't claim exclusive rights to any channel.

 

I love a good hissy fit. don't you? I tell ya plumb, like they all said, it can get rancorous on any channel, and 19 is the worst. the things that come out of an adult's mouth ... I aint never ... oh wait yes I have so I have to shake that finger at myself too. andthatold boy who keeps thinking I care he aint got no panties on is truly mental.

there is a joke that basically goes like this:

you know when you have been on the road for too long, when you get home and finnally lay down with mamma and she leans over to you and whispers "i aint got no panties on" and you reach up to grab your mike to answer back.

I have heard some of the most funniest things on that there radio.

so have fun with it, listen and develope a cb ear, and a cb voice. its the best place for excercising your freedom of speech. bich, inform, joke around, but pla-leeeeeeze dont loose you panties, and if you do? I dont want to know about it. the vision is so hard to dispell.

oh though it is actually illegal to advertise on a cb, its in the rule book, there is a lot of it, "nanner nanner puddin" Now THATS annoying.

 

I'll have to remember this next time I'm heading down to Jacksonville NC via I-40. I'll have to key up and remind them it's not their channel but a channel for all to use, and nothing you can do to stop me from using it.

Some truckers would rather chat with fellow truckers on the job who have also been down the same road, as opposed to who knows who might be on the other end of the radio. Heard that one myself from another poster.

 

For a little more money you can get a radio that includes HAM Bands, if ya like to chat. I got a HAM license for my last job, but have yet to use it.

Just remember, there are as many jerks in trucks as in any other segment of the population...

 

Sometimes. If I'm rolling through Montana (which even saying the name of that state makes me bored as all hell, let alone driving through it) and someone keys up to talk to me, I don't care if it's the devil himself - I'll talk to ANYONE just so I can break the monotony.

 

Just don't answer the devil's questions..

 

Didn't the Devil go to down to Georgia several decades back?
(that was horrible...
