Something caught on fire halfway down Indio hill on I 10 on the westbound side.
Traffic was backed up all the way to the top of the hill, 6 miles when I went by.
Tried to warn drivers but of course no one had the radio on.

I don't get it; seems like drivers would have a cb radio and just monitor it at a low volume.

Probably another truck with a DPF caught fire.

A westbound hay truck caught on fire before Dillion Rd, they had all lanes closed up until 17:40, than they opened the #1 lane up

I saw one truck get off on the Twentynine Palms exit and go south toward the Salton Sea
I've been on that road in my pick up, didn't think it was recommended for anything over 40 feet -
I was on channel 19 I thought it was funny it was like watching sheep being led to the slaughter.
They could've stopped at Chiriaco Summit and at least have lunch or dinner and waited it out -
China, this is not a shot at you, but you may actually be one of the few who understand, just not agree with, this point of view:
Who is to say any of those drivers didn't have it on, just monitoring it.
First, drivers complained other drivers don't have a radio,
Then, drivers complained about drivers who don't have their radios on,
Now, drivers are complaining about other drivers not talking on their radios.
Other times, you hear drivers saying, "if you don't like it, turn your radio off."
It's plain to see you cannot make drivers who like to talk on their cb happy.
It's also been said many, many times, "you drive your truck, I'll drive mine." The drivers who have said that are now getting their wish.
I recently read in one of the FB groups, a driver make the comment, "not having a cb radio on is like being in a room full of people and not being able to talk to them nor hear them." Personally, I'm ok with being that person. It means you don't have to listen to the BS.Chinatown Thanks this. -
I think out west they use 17 or something
-
They do use 17 alot in Oregon and Washington. California (especially SoCal) not so much.
