    .01% of useful calls does negate 99.99% of "I ain't got no panties on" and troglodyte political bottom feeding.

    At least for me.

    If I'm on the road mine is on. But I'm seeing less and less.

    I’d say driving down the wrong side of the highway is the problem not the CB. You find one single channel where it’s just not lonely guy’s talking about nothing and instead focusing on road safety and I’ll gladly get one.

    I use mine for call-outs of an issue ahead, as well as calling out what my wrecker is about to do.

    Quite often I can tell in my mirror that a trucker to my rear has his on, as he will maneuver to where I just told them they need to be.

    Yeah that does rather seem the bigger issue, also you can clearly see the oncoming trucks headlights WAY before he started to do anything.

    Ok, well 2 things......
    #1, I drove OTR for over 10 years and NEVER needed or wanted a CB......keeping your eyes open and paying attention will serve you better.
    #2, Ike doesn't get to set the standard. Ike is a decent guy and I like his videos, but he's not the industry standard.....kinda like Rufferton...
