CB Radio Chatter Driving In Bad Weather {Crash Avoidance}

[@Rottingboards]

Cab-over, I haven't seen one of those for years. Glad you saved one.

[@glindabeaven6805]

Enjoyed the CB conversation that you had with the other driver he was an old school guy and those guys are getting few and far between and it's sad because when all on you guys are gone an era of great truckers will be gone forever

[@jamesmclaughlin8261]

thats why they are working on self driving trucks

[@marksmith801]

Hmm! Yes that's right sad days on the horizon for the American trucker when these steering wheel holders rule the road! #SMH 🇺🇸😤

Many of us still use the CB all the time. My whole channel is dedicated to CB live streams from South Carolina along with some how-to videos with CB stuff.

I may not be a trucker but i always run a CB in my personal vehicle an old General Electric 40 channel that actually works better then my previous and newer Cobra 29 WX NW ST.

[@koldsteele]

Back in my day the 80s the cb helped pass the the time and was very helpful on warnings you needed to know.......great video

[@jessesager9460]

I do enjoy coming across an older school driver and holding a good conversation running down the highway. Doesn’t happen too often unfortunately.

[@awarriorscall1]

Every Truck should have a CB in it.

[@SAABGBGDASHCAM]

Miss this with Cb radio here in Sweden. I have drive trucks sense 1990 so 33 years now and lots have changed tro the years. No truckers ower here have CBs in the trucks now day's. The Cb die out in the end of the 90s when cellphones get cheaper to buy and youse. What i can miss is the camaraderie that was between drivers in the past. Now more and more it feels like there is no professional pride among drivers here anymore. Just go inside a truck stop where you sit by yourself with your phone. we used to sit at a long table and talk to each other. how is it in the usa Ps sorry fore my bad English spelling. Best regards from Snowman in. Sweden

[@MrGrumblier]

The USA and Canada still have lots of dark spots with no cellular service. CBs are still useful.

[@producerk8247]

You need a deck broom. Nice to have a friendly chat on the road. 💡

[@Dieselmachine4]

Im not gonna lie, i do miss be out there on the road. Hearing that old Cat put in work, to the CB chatter on the radio. Good times! Thank you for the trip down memory lane.

[@DutchmanRadio]

Get ya a CB for your house, people use CB to talk all over the country every day. There are more and more of us that are coming back to the hobby

[@Dieselmachine4]

@@DutchmanRadio i have definitely thought about it. Was always cool to hear the base stations out talking to us and god knows who else.

[@DutchmanRadio]

@@Dieselmachine4 right now the solar cycle is making it easier and easier to talk "skip" or long distance when mother nature allow you. I gurantee if you set up a decent antenna and turn to channel 6 you'll hear voices. Hope to hear you on the airwaves!

Awesome looking cabover! My Mom and Dad drove a 392 cat in their 1982 Freightliner. I never became a trucker. But I sure do enjoy the videos. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

Love the CB talk with one of your fans. That other crap was annoying. Anyhoo, be safe on the roads. Here in Wisconsin, we never know when Winter will end.

[@MrGrumblier]

I can tell you when winter will end in Wisconsin: about a month before it ends in Canada.

I remember seeing you starting or trying to start Orwell in the winter before the Green APU....what a good investment that was .

Talk about contrasts in weather conditions - you and Orwell freezing out there, while #TimGentry is nice and warm in Tennessee trying out his new heavy-haul Pete!

[@raypeoples]

I was getting flash backs on the CB chatter,have spent miles chatting on CB(not on sesame street channel) helped with the monotony of 500 miles at 55 mph

[@donalddodson7365]

Had no idea the roads were that torn up. I think that may actually be worse than Kawlifornia's "freeways," which are falling behind in repairs. Also, the very wet winter has the base getting mushy, and sinkholes eroding out under the lanes in a lot of places. Thanks for the sights, Steve.

[@briankaitschuck125]

That's California

[@JeffKelm1981]

I live in California and drive a truck and will tell you, I go through a bottle of Aleve every month because the roads are so bad you back starts to feel it. I call California the never ending construction zone.

[@prodesign8189]

There's something very zen and relaxing about watching your vids while I take a break and chill. Stay safe and well...

[@chetsjug]

Most vids about trucking are boring to me. These are like you're sitting in your sleeper and you're co-driver is driving. Like you say, relaxing like you're along for the ride. :)

[@stumpy2816]

Thanks for the ride Steve. Enjoyed it. 👍👍

[@darylthisdelle7702]

Nice relaxing video FSC. Your videos bring back some memories for me. What I don’t miss is waking up and there is snow everywhere and it’s cold. But that’s part of trucking. I wished I could still do it but reality tells an entirely different story. Anywho FSC times have changed. Even when I was out there chatter on the CB was getting way out of control, the content was for adults only. The CB was starting to loose its appeal it once had. Well FSC have a great and a safe day. Happy trails and happy motoring.

[@jansirkia3809]

The Green APU may be the best thing since sliced bread...? 💖

As far as I'm concerned it should be Gold APU. I love it!

[@charlietrask2477]

🤠 FSC Orville DRIVER ! AND GREETINGS FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE. I enjoy your KZbin videos and it's nice to see an old school Pete cabover still getting it done. I'm a retired trucker, former flatbed pallet hauler, touring band member, and farmer. I trained to drive CDL but my music career conflicted too much with the schedule. But I did own 4 flatbed straight trucks and pickups for a little while. The pride of my fleet at that time was the 76 Louisville form truck converted to an 18 ft flatbed. Keep the and the Rubberside down.

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video Steve really enjoy all the different camera angles and your commentary. It's kinda nice having the chat back and forth with your CB radio. While driving in the snow stay safe Steve.

[@ShawnRice-zy2yx]

Steve I love watching your videos and the sound of Orwell when you're rolling through the gears it's just so relaxing to me listening to that Caterpillar engine purr

[@paulgrodkowski3412]

Very imnformative video that gives the non-trucker like myself an insight into driving!

[@johnsonbar5022]

That purring of the Cat, gear through gear, brings me back. I've been retired for some time now, OTR. As much as things began to be a PINTA, I do miss it. I enjoy watching your vids. Nice job driver,

[@sfcjones2590]

So Steve, I seen you today at about 2:10PM 03/22/2023 when you were heading north out of Cusetta, GA on Hiway 280 heading towards Columbus, GA. I flashed my High Beams at you. I didn't see a load but I did recognize your truck with those stacks.

[@adammoke8949]

About 30 years ago I use to go on drives with my father in his rig, was always on the CB chatting with other drivers. Didn’t realize drivers don’t talk much anymore

[@danielseelye6005]

More drivers are using their smartphones and less drivers are speaking passable English.

[@Nitephall]

Back in the seventies my dad had a cb in his Bronco. He'd use it during our annual trip to Moab and that's how I learned all the cb lingo. I didn't hear either of these guys say breaker or say their handle.

[@chetsjug]

Drove for Sam Tanksley when they had the new Pete's, White with the Blue stripes. Loved those double sleepers & 13 Speeds. Sam died and the partners wife took it over. It was the Harris Corporation that owned a Pete dealership in St. Louis and a Dorsey Trailer dealership in Cape Giraudoux, MO. It was nice to have new Equipment. Thanks for the ride along; sure brings back memories. In the early 90's most companies were converting to long nose. I'm one of the weirdos that like driving in snow and ice. Sad these days, only the old school drivers can throw a set of chains on. I'm glad my first few yeah over the road was for a small company and an O/O. The small company sent us to the northwest with a single screw COE Int'l (small cab) pulling doubles. THAT was fun going from Spokane to Lewiston in the dead of winter. Thank goodness there was no storm. I was so glad when the conv. cabs took over the market. It wasn't long before the sleeper door opened up so you could sit on your bed and get dressed LOL but I would buy a Double sleeper Pete in a heart beat, but I'm aiming for retiring from trucking soon.

[@Denis-tu1pd]

In California 5 years ago they were cutting holes in all the cat blocks and cutting the frames in half. A company in Mexico was buying up the truck and putting the frames back together and patching the blocks up and running the trucks in Mexico.

My biggest detractor of keeping my radio turned up is hard drive whining all day that he gets no respect. Some of you would say tune him out but he hits my radio no matter where I’m at. Pretty much if your chasing skip or anything other than relaying emergencies or truck to truck chatter there are 39 other channels to do your business.

I find that a good deal of the newer breed of steering wheel holds don't even have a CB. Some that do don't speak English and talk on a channel other that 19. When I used to live in Vermont way back when I used to catch the Canucks from Quebec on 14running power just to talk to one of their buddies less than a mile down the road.. I used to run power back then as well but i used to go up to a tall mountain to talk to people 50+ miles away. So far so good and unless something drastic happens I will be at MATS. Stay safe.

[@danielseelye6005]

Just remember: Steve'll be at the Green APU booth and Tim Gentry will be at the SH Tube booth. Here's to hoping "Johnny Cash" will be there along with "Orwell"

[@DrDiff952]

I would imagine that the APU gives some heat to the big engine helping it start easier

[@danielseelye6005]

That's correct. The three cylinder diesel in the APU is tied into the Cat's cooling system so as the APU runs to create heat in the cabin, it pushes the coolant into the engine block, thus warming it up for easier cold starting.

[@fsctrucking]

Correct.
