Think of a podcast as a recoded radio program sitting on the internet just waiting for anyone to listen to it. AM/FM/Satellite radio. like broadcast TV may have something you want to enjoy. However, you have to tune in when it's on the air or you miss it. A podcast is usually an audio program, but some are audio/video, that is available anytime you want it. Sort of like a Digital Video Recorder DVR except it is stored on the internet. I download a week's worth of full-time "radio" programs from the internet. I put them on a $30 MP3 player. I carry the MP3 player with me in the truck and listen to whatever I want whenever I want with pause/play/rewind/fast-forward at my command. Many of the biggest radio programs on the air are available by subscription or free.

"Movin On" was a TV program on the air back in the 1970s, IIRC. It was like other TV programs with trucks, ridiculous and poorly done. You know the type, where trucking is just an excuse for some driver to be a private detective and hunt down criminals and make the wishes of sexy models or sick kids in hospital beds come true before it's too late.

 

Movin On starred Claude Akins, as Sonny Pruitt, and Frank Converse as Will Chandler, his co driver.
It was cheesy, but better than "BJ and the Bear", some mope running around with a monkey in his truck.

 

i think most times, that monkey was on his back...

 

I got a job hauling poop today...

 

S.O.S. isn't it ?

 

It's best to do something nice, not expecting something in return. You did the right thing, whether or not they say thanks, or ignore you. More often than not drivers have their radios off. I'm pretty sure you know that though.

 

well i like to have my cb on all the time never know what i am gonna hear on it ..some good some crap .. i guess i like having it for a security blanket ...amazing it gets pretty busy when in traffic jams and bad weather and rolling slow in the snow ... i dunno its helped me out mre times than i can count ..not sure why there is so much hate towards the cb ... i love the cb its a free form of communication and you never know who ur gonna talk to sometimes they are cool and u have an intelligent convo for 100 miles and it makes time pass much faster for me anyhow ...the phone just bores me anyhow ... so for the haters sell me ur cb

PS : i do repsond to ya when i get info i just think its courteous ... if u see a schneider tanker with a red wilson antenna that be me

 

It's nice to hear safety warnings. However, it's also good to know the road by the signs it's giving so you'll be warned there's something going on. Some call that getting the "Big Picture". It's best to have all the safety items you can have that will not take away any concentration for your driving. Not all trucks have a CB radios. I know that some gasoline companies will not allow them. And you have to be careful of the information you are being told. It all goes back to trust and the one you should trust the most is you.

 

After about 10 minutes, if they don't shut up, just turn the power up enough to be annoying but not discombobulate your truck computers, and throw a 150w dead key. Quiets things right down.
