High powered ######## shooting skip have pretty much ruined CBs, at least as far as the typical truck application goes. It's pretty sad when you can't talk across the median to another truck, but you can hear some jerk clear across the country talking incessantly and saying nothing.

If you cant talk across the median,its all within your set up...Dont need big power to get but you need to do it efficently...

If you're new to radio communication and want a simple, easy-to-use option for short-range communication (e.g., local travel or off-roading), a standard CB radio is a good choice.

On the other hand, if you're interested in longer-range communication and are willing to invest the time to learn the additional features and possibly obtain a license, then an SSB radio might be more suitable, especially if you plan to communicate over greater distances.
