Do you have a CB?
 
Yes or No?

Silly :?: Yes I do. It is a cobra 148 GTL F With a connex board and astatic mic. Not real fancy but it suits me.

Actually not a bad question, I find CBs useless if not down right annoying. Can never have a decent conversation without some dumb ass jumping in with stupid shit about how fast his truck is or, what his sexual preferance is and so on and it usually is behind the mike of an extremely distorted radio.... I'm glad I got my Amateur license it is a lot more entertaining!!!

Yeah, I've got one. It's in a box in my shop.
Tossed it out after getting my XM a couple of years ago.
I had to drive a different truck one day and it had a CB.
I didn't turn it on 'til I was around the Petro in Portage, WI and heard two guys hollering at each other.
I waited for a break in the "conversation" and told them that I hadn't listened to the CB in years, but I could swear they were the same two guys that were arguing when I last listened.
I don't miss it one bit, and I believe my IQ has actually risen since I got it out of my truck.

Some docks use them to let you know when their ready for you. If you don't have one what do you do?


What is up with guys lowering their voice so the sound like a big tough guy? That is so lame.

Yes I do... It may not be what I use the most anymore since the advent of cell phones and the Nextel. But it does comes in handy when you yearn for a conversation or as other drivers have put it, necessary when pulling into a loading area.

Hey I think I heard them two guys at the petro in sparks sunday evening.

I have a radio it's company crap, but it does do the job. Last one I owned was fried by lightning.
