It's too infrequent that truckers have anything useful to say.
They're
usually too busy talking about where they're driving and what

hauling, or the women they're gawking at.

It's funny, it really just seems to vary by location. When I was in
Dallas/Ft. Worth, I found my c.b. to be invaluable for getting around in
traffic. You could always find out which lane was closed, where there was
an accident, best detours, etc. Then I moved to Florida, and the thing was
pretty much useless. Nobody talked, much less gave a report of anything.
SSB is pretty fun out in the sticks for shooting skip, but that's another
story. ;)
I used to use a Firestick, and I'd unscrew it and toss it behind the seat
whenever I didn't need it. Then I bought a Wilson magnet mount, which
performed every bit as good, and I could just put it on when I wanted to.
