Doesn't really matter who does or doesn't use it.. The OP asked a reasonable question.
There are antennas that require a ground plane in order to archive a good match and decent radiation, and there are others that perform well (not great) without a ground plane. A lot of truckstop CB shop guys have been doing this since the 70's and know what works where and can either show you loaded ground-plane less antennas, or sell you metal tape to build your own ground plane on the roof. The problem is finding one...
If you want a mediocre to flat poor performance, just hang anything up there.
