I have a CB on my motorcycle. The only time I hear chatter is when there is a wreck in the immediate area, when multiple rigs from the same company are running together, or when I'm on I-40.

I can go over a thousand miles and never hear anything on 19.

A few weeks ago I was returning from Canada and called out to a log hauler as things were starting to get out of hand on a 2-lane (slow vehicle, loaded semi wanting to pass, me wanting to pass everybody, busy road), he answered... We jawed with each other for a couple miles until I started to get out of range.

I installed one 6 months ago and I've NEVER heard anyone on it. All the truckers seem to be on Single Side Band now and you can't understand what they are saying.

I had a CB radio for 25 years, but in the last 5-10 years, no one really uses them much anymore. They were handy for weather channel info, but Smart Phones give better information. When we travel, all of our friends are using these. for vehicle to vehicle use.

My guess is less than 5% do.
