    when a truck behind you is flashing there headlights.

    it means for you to pull over. so the driver can tell you something is wrong with your truck.

    it doesn't mean for you to just keep on blowing down the highway. with smoking axles and sparks flying underneath.

    since yall have no cb's. the only way for us to get your attention is to flash our lights. PAY ATTENTION AND PULL OVER. SO YOU CAN STOP FOR A ROADSERVICE CALL.

    CB or not, they still don't care. A few days ago I came up behind a guy doing 55 or so. Rear tadem deflated and smoking. I told him on the CB., he said thanks and kept on trucking. I guess he figured no problem, he still has 17 more.

    Is "no CB" CR England student policy? Should/are we allowed to bring our own?

    you'll find that most companies only provide with you a truck. you'll have to supply your own cb.

    most mega carrier schools discourage the use of cb, and reading many of the old heads on this forum, seems like that is an industry trend

    my cb is part of my pretrip

    as a former trainer ar cre to new cre hopefuls....dont bring a cb. your trainer might have one in truck already, or if they don't have cb, it's probably for good reason. you can buy one once you get your own truck.

    The irony is Ofc I work for cr England and have no cb. I used to, but after hearing the crap on there....I just seem more sane without it. I should probably get one for emergency use, like a portable one, I would much rather have a shipper call me and wake me up rather than have to stay awake and listen to that cb.

    If it wasn't Obama sucks or random insults I might be inclined to use one more often....

    You have enough to do learning the truck. Don't talk on a cell phone either, It's a sure accident waiting on You.
