On the 2 meter band, the national calling frequency is 146.520 MHz (simplex), do you listen there?
Drivers that are Hams, What Freq. do you monitor?

FYI: the Larsen 2/70B is a Half Wave antenna (No Ground Plane needed) on 2 meters, and a 5/8 Wave Collinear on 440 MHz (six inch ground plane required).. The 2/70B is 34 inches tall, should work pretty good on most 18 wheelers...

KN6SDPowder Joints and homeskillet Thank this. -
I also recommend a repeater directory. I only run 2 meters in the work truck and program repeaters along my normal routes in addition to 146.520. Since the same frequencies are in use in different regions you still will hear repeaters you don't have programmed in if you don't use the receive tone squelch, then simply look up the transmit tone or your radio my do that for you,

I use a Uniden SDS200 with GPS to automatically scan local repeaters as I drive. If I hear one active I can see both the frequency and CTCSS tone used and setup my ham rig if I wish to join in.
I’m curious if there are any HF frequencies that drivers hang out on. -

My Stryker 955 has been converted to 11 Meter but SSB mode low or high seems to just muffle the regular 40 CB channels. -
Once an import radio has been converted to 11 meters, it needs an alignment done.
