Just installed a classic CB in the truck I am running for local here in New England. Could not get a radio check on I 93 for over an hour! Does anyone use CB anymore?
Does anyone give radio checks anymore.

Rarely. The only time I run with radio on, in stormy weather or running oversized with pilot car.
Got tired of the bickering.
I do alert drivers to active emergency vehicles on the shoulder or abnormal weather conditions. Accidents and traffic back ups.
Hard to find anyone to have a conversation or a civil discussion anymore so I stopped trying.88 Alpha, LoneRanger, Rounded_nut and 2 others Thank this. -
I feel your pain friend. The megas don't use CBs, neither do all the outfits that lease their truck from penske, ryder etc.
Small outfits, O/O, construction guys, livestock haulers are your better choice for a come-back.
I always eyeball a truck first before I start having a conversation with myself......saves agravation.
Sucks to be sure if you can't see anyone around.I
I'm on 93 all the time ........give me a holler. Lol -
Try it when you're near a truck stop tell them you just installed a new antenna or coax or whatever

CB is not dead but drivers have so many navigational tools now that CB is just one tool of many.
Tom Hanks used an ice skate to extract a tooth on the deserted island, but I'm sure if he had a pair of vice grips he would have used them instead. Even then he wouldn't have thrown the ice skate away
