I believe it to be essential safety equipment but a month or so ago a driver in Indiana who probably wouldn't agree topped a hill at full speed and ran into the back of a construction stopped line of trucks on a beautiful, sunny day. He died.

I have given up on the CB for the most part. I utilize Google maps/traffic regularly to keep abreast of stop/slowed traffic ahead. It's simple, fast, accurate, and dependable ... drivers? not so much. And my truck and driving style is rarely going to get me in trouble with speed. So excuse me while I turn this thing OFF as soon as the BS starts and I'll turn it on when I feel like it. -
That's why all CB RADIOS have an ON / OFF switch to be used at the radio operators discretion

His keys ( house car? ) were sitting on the step on
his fuel tank, drivers trying to tell him but no radio, even tried pulling up next to him waving keys to get his attention but he would not even acknowledge the driver.
That's just one of dozens of reasonsallniter Thanks this. -
If you don't have your radio on, you are not a real trucker

I use my CB both ways... if I am westbound and pass an accident or something on the eastbound side.. I will turn up my radio and call it out to the eastbounders....
