How to use a CB radio while traveling through a city like Dallas...

[@Tom-ku5kd]

Absolutely love your videos. As I just started watching them two days ago. But they are amazing. I take my hat off to you and each trucker out there. You guys are the heart beat of America we wouldn't have what we got at our stores without you. My father drove for 17 years over the road and I went with him alot so I saw what you guys go thru out there keep up the amazing work. And of course the amazing videos

[@nihadrosic1988]

Beautiful truck brother. Stay safe God bless you!

[@hunter1actual124]

It truly blows my mind how so many drivers just don’t use the cb anymore. Then they sit there wondering what is going on ahead of them, and because they have no idea a lot of secondary accidents occur because they try and make last minute decisions. And you were calling out for a hot minute, that’s crazy that not one person answered back.

[@hunter1actual124]

Having a properly working cb should be part of your pre-trip and I should even say mandatory! Just my two cents. I have mine on all the time, sometimes turned down, never off unless I’m asleep or parked.

[@elliothuh669]

Yeah totally some people think that CB have been replaced by cell phones. No part of the reason we have so many accidents now as well as 100 car pile ups. Is because there are no coms. A cell phone just isn't convenient while driving even with an APP

[@JustJay1281]

@@elliothuh669 phone also relies on you having that person in your contacts, where as a CB so long as you on the right frequency anyone within range is going to be able to contact you. Only really makes sense for the truckers to have and use them, cause yes it would prevent accidents from becoming pile ups. Then trucks a head can let the trucks coming up know its there and they need to be prepared to slow down (or even to start slowing down) and/or change lanes.

[@elliothuh669]

@@JustJay1281 It be nice if the skip qso guys would stay off 19. But usually coms are still possible for 19. Even with the skip. Problem is it is a little annoying. To listen to while driving.

Fellow driver here, new to your channel. Great stuff man and a beautiful ride! Keep it coming!

[@a.h.s5152]

You are blessed with an beautiful and gorgeous rig it's eye 👁 candy, CB radios are an life line and life saver, when I watch them videos on them long pile up rig wrecks on i- 80 and other hwys and roads like it, I could tell which truckers didn't have an CB radio or didn't have it on because they didn't hear about the wrecks ahead of them they would be going fast and not slowing down then they end up crashing into the back of each other I felt bad for the cars around them.🦋💙💙💙💙💙🦋👍

[@ryanmorrison3699]

I am an aspiring truck driver. I’m sure a lot of you here right now are too. So I must say that when you all get out there someday, buy a CB Radio. You’ll lose your mind if you don’t have one. Not only is it a great tool for getting road information, but you may have some friendly company along the way, which will help ease your loneliness that you’ll inevitably feel at some point.

[@jett26981]

Subscribed hand, good to see some ol truckers still using cb. I go by slick.

[@mikebottiaux5850]

As a young boy back in the Sixties I so wanted a job that involved the use of a CB Radio, Trucker, Delivery Driver, etc. I have full respect for all drivers, it’s a tough job.

[@greatpariscars]

That is a beautiful truck. Just a pleasure to look at it, to hear it and probably to smell it. Nice ride.

[@63stratoman]

I just got back into trucking and am amazed at how much has changed! I can get used to the ELDs and it really is nice having Google maps and other nav aids but we are completely isolated from each other now! CBs were our lifeline and was invaluable source of information to know about accidents, closures, and what not! I really could’ve used one a couple nights ago when I-45 southbound was closed and the detour wasn’t marked for crap! Another trucker got my attention (arm waving, no CB) and he led me out of that mess but I really would’ve loved to have avoided it altogether! Seems to be quite a bit of “conference calls” with Bluetooth headsets but I haven’t gotten that all figured out yet.

[@13eckerlosmuerte]

The hum when it vibrates perfectly sounds like ww2 bombers doing a raid, absolutely perfect sound. Its really does suck nobody uses CB anymore, one of the safest tools for truckers on the roads and its only used in yards and truck stops. Only reason I have mine on 24/7 is accidents on the I-17 in Phoenix can mean life or death during summer months.

[@Truckinlife]

Mine is on 99.9% of the time when I’m moving. Just for that reason.

This video just popped up, and I thought, I know that truck! I picked through my phone and two photos popped up if it, that I took of it at the Baytown TA fuel island a few months ago. Yes, inspite of cropping, the driver, which I assume is you, still is in one. I had to snap them. Beautiful Rig! I don't blame you for nosing in. My current truck has been hit 5 times in 3 years. $16000 in damages! It's both sad and irritating how few give a heads up about anything on the road, or reply when giving a heads up over cb! There's a different breed out there today. Retirement can't come fast enough!
