It would've helped me a TON today. I came over a hill on I-75 here in GA and traffic was completely stopped. I got it stopped in time, but I must say my heart skipped a few beats, much like the transmission skipped a few gears. I got on the radio and sarcastically thanked everyone for the warning I never received, then I noticed I was on channel 20 from when I had gotten sick of the chatter earlier.
LOL....I've pulled out of places where you'd have to be on a different channel to talk to someone and spend the next 10 minutes on the wrong channel myself ...hollering for a northbound or something and getting pissed.Happens.
I did get a picture of one of the most interesting loads I've seen in a while, though, while in the traffic jam and on the wrong CB channel. Excuse the quality, a cell phone can only do so much.
LOL....We run a lowboy around here and my buddy who owns the truck is as retarded as I am and the day he brought his new trailer in,we drove down to the coffee shop with a pedal tractor lashed down on it so we could tell the naysayers that it hadn't been home 15 mins and already we had a load for it.Pretty funny at the time.
Makes me wonder if the boys in the scalehouse could do something about having it on the trailer and not having bills.
You know,I never thought about that.I 'll bet Banning would tear a guy a new one over that.You make a good point.
I have not read this whole thread but I can say that I thought the same way as you do/did. I was a WalMart one day and was in an isle that had CB's in them, I saw one for $35.00 (Cobra 18 I think?.) and said "what the hell, the truck has antennas already" and bought it. Went right outside to the truck and hooked it up. 2 hours down the road doing 75 mph I hear "south bound, Bear 101 over something taking pictures", I look at my mile marker and it says 102 over something and slow myself down to the legal limit of 55. Just as I pass the mile marker that was called out on the radio I see a Connecticut state trooper clocking radar, well what do you know, my radio just paid for itself in no time at all... Well to make a long story short, I'M in over my head with CB antennas, radios, mods, cables, this and that and what-not...
