Good CB setup that is easily removable (for company truck)

If you are looking for an easy portable one, I have this one for my car. The only drawback is 1/2 mile to 4 miles depending on terrain. It has an outside magnetic antenna that goes on the truck.

 

What Company does not allow CB Radios? Stupid policy. My Company installs one I every truck. Probably one of the best safety devices in a semi truck.

 

Lucky for me, a previous driver left one behind in the current unit I occupy. Got an old cop radio holster that hangs from the seat.

 

They wonder why no one can inform the other drivers behind them that their is a problem ahead.

 

I guess that company would have to fire me.

 

They make a a vice-grip antenna mount the LTL drivers used back in the day. Use a cigarette lighter power cord and a standard cb radio.

LTL drivers used to have a "slip seat box" that had a CB, AM/FM, speakers. Their antenna was welded to a vice-grip pliers that grabbed a steel stub just above the driver door. The slip seat box had power leads that screwed or clipped into the 12v terminals of the truck.

 

I was in a Cascadia a few years ago; a 16 also I believe. It was pretty much a slip seat type co.. On the dash were 2 power posts w a black nut and one w a red nut for the power cord(can get at truck stop). And there was an antenna cable laying on the dash also for hook up.

The antennas: look around the mirrors for a place to screw them in. If I remember they were on top of the mirrors. You can pick up a couple 4ft(?) whips that screw on and off quite quickly. Of course, maybe the co you drive for didnt spec their trucks this way or they tore it out.

It wouldnt be too difficult to figure something out that would work.

 

holy mackerel; nice, nice.

What is that unit on the dash though? Im stumped.
