In order to get current and up to date road condition reports, I frequently will get on the CB radio and ask a south bound trucker if I am going north bound and ask "Breaker Breaker 17 what did you leave behind you?" The trucker will then give me an update on any road conditions or incidents I need to be aware of. This enables me to be aware for about 3 to 5 miles ahead of me. i.e. accidents, trucks or RV's pulled off the side of the road, road construction and sections on the road where the speed limit has been reduced for the safety of the workers.
