Channel 17

where at? last time i was in cali, every one was on sesame street like normal. now i know many many years back drivers used to run 17 in cali. as soon as you crossed the line you stopped and washed your truck then went to channel 17. dont know why. and i really dont really care. i dont go out there anymore lol

 

Me being from Cali, no wonder I can't reach anyone when they're losing a wheel or tandems slid back psst 40' Lol they just Stare

 

Haven't been out there in a few years but I-5 was 17 when I was out there.

 

It's 17 in Oregon and Washington also, no idea why.

 

19 is what the LEO's used to run out there, the drivers went to 17

 

Cali channel's as north to south, 19,17 to junction 46 or so. Anything east or westbound 19. South of Junction 46, 15 to L.A. area then it's 15,19, 21. South of L.A., 19,21 all the way to the Southern border. Again, anything east or westbound 19. If you want to listen to our spanish trucker compadres, 7 anywhere you are. At least there smart enough to stay on 1 channel. BTW, if you run the coast 101, it's 19 all the way.

 

It's a long story. But we run 17 all the way thru Canada. When you get to highway 58 just north of Bakersfield you change to 15 you run it to about banning. I can't remember where but there is a spot in the south la area that we used to run 21 also

 

thats a lot of numbers to keep up with lol. I usually just keep it on 19 and dont change it but maybe thats why i can never get a hold of anyone. I didnt even know 17 was the channel out there or 21 for that matter. Guess ill have to tinker with those channels nxt time im out there
