Have you lately heard back from a trucker while on the highway????
For the last 3 years I have never heard back from a trucker on any highway from Chicago to Washington DC, Knoxville, Tn. or Buffalo, NY. - NOTHING. I've asked many people about this and most say they are using cell phones = WTF how can that be? Do all truckers have every other trucker's cell number?? Another said they're using single side band.
Does anyone else receive trucker chatter on the CB??? Or know the reason there isn't any???

I wonder about truckers and CB. Just got back from a road trip and I swear every semi driver was on his phone. I don't see the microphones hanging in the cabs much any more either. Or those wild antennas on their mirrors.
CB’s have mostly gone by the wayside for truckers on the highway. It’s a tool that most of them only use in the event of traffic and accidents. Most would rather talk to friends and family while on the road. There is so much trash on the CB anymore that we keep our squelch turned up and the volume turned down most of the time. I use my bike CB only when riding with a group or traffic listening for information regarding the issue at hand.
