A bad buy i'm thinking on cb

there have been many discussions on here about drivers not using the radio anymore. my personal view on that subject is simple. the radio is a tool for the job. a very handy tool if you know what you are doing.

 

Lot lizards used to use the CB? LOL now that's funny right there.

 

Just depends on ur area

 

There was a time when the radio was very useful tool. The morons have changed that. It no longer has any meaningful usefulness that I can see. My radio is off most of the time now. When I change trucks, I don't think I'll bother to bring the radio with me.

 

Only the real trkers have cb's

 

I can't count the times I've pulled in and went to sleep with the radio on and was never disturbed the entire night. Things have changed allot.

 

i always have them in all the trucks...we use them loading in the field and stuff...really nice!! we still use them around here alot i used to have them in my work pickup too but i kinda grew out of that still miss it tho!!

 

Until everyone puts their name and cell phone number on the back of their trailer, a cb is still the best way to warn a driver of problems. Not everyone wants their cell number public, so I guess I'll just keep my cb on.

 

They are still a good tool. If drivers weren't on the phone and didn't have xm radio, I think more would turn the cb back on. But it seems like you can't have a decent conversation with anyone anymore without a smart '@#$ chiming in at some point. Very rude!.... and the foul language gets old pretty quit IMO too.

Speaking of lot lizards. I remember the old 76 in Tulsa back in the late 70s early 80s. They were always on the radio when you went through. Some of them were pretty entertaining on the airways too! Haven't heard the "girls" on the CB in W. Memphis now for several years....I guess that last big bust did them in. You can actually sleep there now without getting disturbed!
