When you get a CB, take some time to learn about setting it up properly also. There's a lot more to it than picking up the radio and plugging it in. Grounding, antenna tuning, etc.. You'll use it a lot more when you know it works right.

[@TRANSPORTKING1988]

I buy all my CBs from clays radio out of San Antonio Texas it's probably one of the best radio shops in the USA.... When you buy a new one you definitely have to get it tuned up, you definitely need good antennas and good coaxial cable, if you're lacking one of these items then it won't work good at all, I recommend changing out the CB coaxial every 5 years... CB radio should be mandatory in trucking, it's such a lifesaver in bad weather and road construction...

[@michealtyson8081]

You are absolutely right. I'm in the Northeast. But I don't know anyone to help me out with my radio. I have the Cobra 29. I know it's a cheap radio. I don't mind getting a better one. I just want it to work as it should. I want to be able to reach a few miles around me. And not just 100 yards. In other words. If something bad on the road. I would like to hear about it miles before. And not when I'm on top of the problem.

[@Farrell0208]

Most people want to just be able to plug it in and leave it. Like everything else these days. Part of the problem is most these guys who are company drivers are in newer trucks that have horrible grounding and just as horrible coax. Never have understood why when all these manufacturers make these trucks, they ALL throw that thin, cheap coax in the truck.

My trucking school stopped letting Prime reps come by because the school owner said a couple students got scammed by the lease purchase program. They were pretty predatory about it

There's not scams going on with the lease at prime. As somebody who completed a lease purchase there and now holds the title to a 2018 Peterbilt everything is straight forward there. Alot of people just don't read what there signing up for however I would not recommend leasing there to anybody else tho. You run under 2 bucks a mile most of the time and you have higher expenses than anybody else who financed a truck or outright owns one. I would do my numbers at the end of the year to find out how much I made on all miles for the year and my best year out of 4 was 1.30$ a mile which is awful.
