CB Radio???

[Blutoyz]

I was on the road today in my car and a question popped into my head....

Do trucks still use CB radios today with all of the tech available? Is it a good option to add along with an RV GPS for newbies?

What say you?

I'm thinking about putting mine back in service after people yelling at me that I had a problem. I blew two tires on my last road trip across Hwy 80. Rather than the hand motions or flashing of lights a radio transmission might have been quicker.

I have one in the truck but it's hardly ever on. We use VHF handheld 2 way radio's to communicate when camping. Not FRS, no range. VHF range is 10 miles in an urban area, lots farther in the boonies. A license is required.

They do use them sometimes. I dont have one...that's so seventies! And my doctor says "less salt," camping.

I have a CB in our Southwind. Normally it's turned off
If I'm in a traffic jam or heavy traffic I turn it on to check on local road conditions.
If it breaks, I don't know if it will be replaced. It's really not that important, to me, for traveling.

Truckers still used them yes sometimes the language is salty but it's still nice to find out about accidents traffic etc.... I have mine on when I travel.

On the back roads that we travel it was useless. No one else around. On an interstate in the east it was just a lot of B.S. talk.
Took mine out.
