CB Radio Conversation Led to Trucker's Stabbing Death

I'm getting fed up. I wonder how this is helping the image of truck drivers. And the truckers aren't doing anything to help themselves. Everytime I turn on my CB it's always people talking trash to each other or somebody implying something criminal like "Tell me where you are so I can bash your face in." I imagine the good truckers just keep that sucker turned off? Or is this the norm for the industry? And now somebody is dead because somebody else had to be a prick and insult a ten-year-old girl of all things.

 

ITS BEEN THIS WAY PRETTY MUCH THE LAST 15 YEARS AN GETS WORSE EVERY DAY. AN THATS A SHAME,,,,,,,I KNOW THIS IS OLD, BUT BACK WHEN I STARTED IN THE 70'S THE CB WAS BETTER THAN SLICED BREAD YOU COULD ASK DIRECTIONS AN REALLY GET GOOD HELP AN INFORMATION. MY CB ANYMORE IS JUST SOMETHING TO KEEP THE DUST FROM LAYING ON THE DASHBOARD VERYSELDOM TURNED ON.

 

I haven't listened to the CB longer than a few minutes at a time just for this reason. Too many morons on the radio. But the truth is, it ISN'T just truckers. It is many bored stupid unemployed locals who have nothing better to do than raise heck on the CB.

 

I know you right ! cybergal.

 

Too bad they couldn't make it where only professionals can use the cb and not just any local yokel. Might help if these idiots couldn't get on there. Now I know that wouldn't stop everything because there are also idiot truckers out there, just might help a little.

 

I've never heard the person in Battle Creek but there is a guy in Grand Rapids, 007, and all his lil buddy's that are annoying as crap. Its like come on guys use something other than 19.

 

My feelings exactly, I remember the days of carrying on a good conversation with a few neighbors hauling butt down the road, still keeping in contact with bear warnings. Rolling into a town with your load getting dead on directions. It's rough out there anymore, i keep it squelched out and turned down.

 

i thought this was about the cfi driver who stabbed the dude in west memphis last week or so hmm
knives are the weapon of choice now days
