[QUOTE="bbmyls2go, post: 214983, member: 2498"]Ok, I just saw the thread about reefers at truck stops but looking around don't see one about something I think is an even bigger problem! No, not the clowns who jake brake around truck stops at 2am (you know who you are). The guys who instead of buying a corvette to show their ##### envy, jack up the power of their cb radio. No, wait, not ALL of you guys. I understand that those who enjoy the cb want the extra power for extended range for conversations with others they are traveling with as well as to lessen the frustration of the short time-frame we have exchanging words with a truck coming from the opposite direction. No, I'm talking about the guy who then pulls into the truckstop, rest area, or warehouse staging lot, and KEEPS it cranked up. To the point that I am unable to watch television without the signal going static, or the audio cutting out, or worse, the audio being over-ridden by the clown bragging about "my little radio". Even WORSE, that with my tv off and me trying to catch some sleep, my freaking FM radio suffers bleedover from this fool who thinks he need his radio turned up to 11 just to talk to another loser who has HIS turned up to 11 but is sitting 4 space away. I swear to God if I could identify these trucks (who of course either ignore requests to lower their power and volume, or can't HEAR you make the request because they won't SHUT THE HELL UP, or they then start personal attacks), I'd be out there with my bolt cutters taking down their over-priced antenneas, shutting off their fuel valves, and disconnecting their airlines.
