    My truck doesn't have a CB. I asked if I could bring mine in and install it and was told "against company policy".

    OK.

    Back in the spring I was headed to the coast, which requires driving down a narrow, curvy road through a canyon. A bread hauler coming the opposite direction reached up and grabbed his radio mic as he passed me, and I knew he was trying to tell me something so I slowed down and got myself prepared for some kind of B.S ahead.

    About 4 curves later I find some track suit wearing jaggaloon standing outside of his truck, which he had parked blocking half of the oncoming lane, on a curve, taking pictures of the river with his phone. Right behind him was a car that had also parked, and two young ladies were standing in the road doing the same thing.

    One of the "WHAT IN THE ACTUAL @$@% ARE YOU OXYGEN THIEVES DOING?" moments.

    Just occurred to me that I may just install the #### CB and an antenna anyway. If questioned this will be my response:

    You gotta wonder what the heck was going on there.

    Last night, northbound I-35 OKC between I-240 and I-40. Traffic was fairly heavy. My buddy was bout a half mile behind me. I passed a pickup pulling a car trailer. One of those wedge jobs. He was in the far right lane, I was in the middle. A minute later my buddy goes to hollerin about traffic slamming on the brakes in all three lanes and how did I get through it. I said I never saw it, we rolled right through. Turns out that pickup lost his trailer and it wound up in the far left lane. Had to of happened right behind me but I didn’t see it.

    Saia has a similar rule, to add insult to the injury of their nanny cams.

    Really, What about your own carry along. I know Yrc, Holland didnt care if you had a radio box. Last fleet shop I ran I would tell the drivers we would install them for them. It was best because I hated seeing what some guys did to get power.
