I leave my CB off most of the time now

Thank you for admitting what an emergency is...

 

Lots of people don't even have cb, I don't intend on getting one the way I seen it I have been at this since February and I have not needed one yet, so I don't need to bother wasting my money on one. Part of it, is that lots of the people on them seem to be into a "trucker culture" that I for one want nothing to do with.

 

I'm a proud memeber of the "trucker culture"....

 

Not trying to argue with your logic or fault your decision, because it obviously worked for you. However, I am curious how you handled shippers and receivers who check trucks in in and then relegate them to a holding area monitoring channel "whatever" until their unit is called for loading or unloading. I have run into this on more than one occasion. Maybe it just never happened to you.

 

I switched jobs/trucks 2mths ago, haven't rehooked up CB and don't think I will, I don't miss it...

Give them your cell number...If I was still running in those circles, I'd probably still use CB...

 

used mainly to see how long a back up is going to be what MM it clears up etc, to help me plan better what I may need to do.

Prefer not to hear mr echo know it all or the Dbags making comments about the bus load of teenage girls they were salivating over at the rest stop.

Running the hours I do now, largely the only truck on a particular patch of asphalt it stays off unless I see traffic backed up during the early morning hours during rush hour.

 

Yeahh.....about that guy....I've always heard he was a cop...but...man...

That cop has been there doing that same thing for years....

 

like was mentioned, give them your cell number....thats what we do...even tho we have a cb....plus that way you can lay down and not have to hear the radio and be bothered while you are resting....
