    Francis 5.5 ft. fiberglass antenna. Pre tuned. About $22 at truck stops everywhere. Simple.

    I'd spend more time on antenna mounting than which antenna to buy.

    The most expensive antenna on the average tractor trailer mounting job will be outperformed by a inexpensive antenna mounted with attention paid to ground losses and proper antenna matching every time.

    A 102" whip mounted to the frame of your truck will beat any of those fancy expensive truck stop / CB shop antennas.
