Remember folks, these are his experiences, his peeves. Not everyone will "clutter the web" (paraphrase) with bias. Rural folk, recreational RVers, and freebanders still enjoy CB in mostly an appropriate manner. Retired trucker.
I would have to agree. I'm 72, drove trucks for near forty years starting in the early 70's and remember the booming CB day's very well. Most all trucks and many, many cars had CB's installed (factory or otherwise) as everyone knows and I strongly believe there is still a place for trucking use and hobby CB like there is for ham radio operators.
Im an 18 year old diesel tech for a fleet in indiana... I would say a good 60% to 65% of our drivers dont have CBs anymore. Ive got a little uniden and a 2 foot whip on my pickup, i would love to see more people get back on. I dont see how you could be a trucker and not want to communicate with fellow drivers. This part is debatable but i dont think it even has to be crucial information, it is just nice to pass the time on the interstate as long as youre not saying stupid shit
Amen brother. I can’t believe I get out on the interstate and drivers don’t have their radios on. The few that do are always trucks that don’t have def systems. Those guys still run the radio.
@@spencerjohnson4656 I’m around truckers all day everyday. Guys are good dudes, but to be honest, I literally don’t think they know how to properly use the squelch in conjunction with the rf gain to cut out the excess skip that has been rolling in the last couple years, and because of their ignorance they just have a “I don’t wanna listen to that crap on the radio” and simply shut it off rather than adjust it properly. You can’t teach truck drivers much of anything. I’ve tried.

I concur. Video uploader sounds like someone who drank the goof juice. I agree with him about the preachers, however, political folks were always the rarest on 11 meters (in my experience), but I have heard them plenty on 75 to 80 meters.
I started as CB kid back in the 70s and got my ham license when I was 14. CB used to require a mail-in license with an actual call sign but when so many thousands of people got them in then late 70s they got rid of that requirement. CB transmissions were supposed to be short (5 minutes). They were supposed to direct to another station-- no broadcasting. No music. That's what AM and FM radio were for. It wasn't originally for commercial businesses-- that's what land-mobile service is for. The service is supposed to exist for ordinary people of any kind to have access to two-way radio communication on a fair basis. With cell phones the whole thing is kind of obsolete. But for specific people who can still make used of it (and trucking is a perfect example--especially in the many places a cell phone doesn't reach or if you're in a major storm of some kind--it's a life saver!) Those same "tinfoil hat" types are on the Ham bands too. Since you have to pass a test to be a Ham and you are assigned a call sign and people can find you the Hams are a more behaved bunch. But I still miss the old "Breaker Breaker one nine anyone out there got a.....???" And someone would respond that they had a ..... and it went on and on. Be safe.

@@HoustonStreetChaplainssorry, but even Jesus isn't excluded from having to follow the rules on the CB or the ham fanatics will get a boner and bitch trip you over it.
I am 4 wheeler, and Ham radio operator also. always use CB CH 19 when I drive long distance along I-15 Calif to Idaho. leave them ON most of the time, it is very useful when weather get bad, accident ahead, so on. I think every truck should have them, even should be required by Law. large RV trailer over turned on down hill on I-15 in Utah mountain road covered with Snow and ice. I heard most of the two lanes were blocked ahead on CH 19. it is safety item.

@@HoustonStreetChaplains As I previously said, take your preaching to another channel ! Nobody wants to listen to it but you. I hope somebody involves you in their Fox Hunt and pins your Coax.
Don't lose hope, the proper cb'er hardly talks, keeps the channel clear, and listens, or leaves it highly squelched or off until a situation demands it. Also the 4 legal watts is the right amount of power for about 3 miles ahead, 3 miles back.
I am a Ham radio operator (general license), and I have added a CB to my truck and one in my Ham shack because CB is good way to track traffic on long trips to West Texas and to stay in touch with local operators in case of inclement weather and local emergencies. I do not like idle chat or rants of any kind on radio, but I appreciate the chance to monitor comments, notices and conversations on long trips on 2-M, 1.25-m, and 70-cm Ham bands and on CB. I wish more CB operators would consider earing at least a Ham technician's license, as their participation in local/regional emergency communications groups would be most welcome. 73 KI5KET
@@1polonium210 +31 years a licensed HAM (HAM's know Morse, Amateur's don't). I let my ticket lapse. Too many nets, contests, fraudulent signal reports, computers getting contacts (LOL) while the operator sleeps; the list is endless. I'm a CBer now.
30 + years and - Still trucking and always listening, on 19...occasionally interesting conversations get started with other drivers , usually going the same direction. Other times its good just to listen - sometimes you can help someone out .if it's quiet , you can assume everything is ok. Some customers have implemented the C/B for directions inside their facility so you get unloaded/loaded, in a certain area. In other cases it is just a way to communicate with other drivers in certain situations. Still a useful tool , but newer drivers that don't use it are typically the ones that drive 40 mph in the parking lots, and are generally oblivious to what is happening around them. You know the ones with their head up their ass.
My house is ~100 yards from the interstate, and back in the mid-late 1980's I'd always have a CB in my bedroom to talk to truckers as they come through (much less crowded than it is now). Those kind of people existed even back then, and we'd have to go to channel 12 or 23 to have a normal conversation. The funny part is they never knew I was in my house; they thought I was a fellow trucker. 🤣Sometimes I entertain the thought of getting back into it just for shits and giggles.
Cell phones aren't the undoing of CB. Tell me; if you're riding "down the road" and you want information about road conditions; or whatever; What good is your cell phone? Who are you gonna call? Your mother in Cleveland? You gonna call ther trucker ahead of you? Oh; you don't know his phone number... That's where CB shines... CB might not be like it was in the '70s, but it's still a very useful tool.
@@martyham10 just get a phone holder and stick it on your windshield. If you have the app running you don’t need to mess with anything and it vocally tells you where cops and hazards are. It’s hands free and you don’t even need to look at it. Not complicated brother.
Ham operator here and I still have a lot of fun with CB. I have many of them actually. I collect old electonics. Tube types. When the skip is good I can get out on 4 watts. But we also use them in our off roading a lot. A small percentage of us are hams and we use both so we can talk to the non hams. So I have both in my vehicles. And yep. Traffic jam? Just go to channel 19 and the truckers will let you know what's going on. Appreciate you guys. Keep rollin.
I was number 3 back when I still had them in my vehicles. I'm not a professional driver on the road. I eventually gave up on the CB since I never heard English any more.
There are also radio enthusiasts (radio nerds maybe?) who still use CB. They like tinkering with and learning about electronics, antennas and radio in general. Some will move into Ham Radio after spending some time on CB while others are not interested in getting a Ham Radio license and find CB is enough.
I listen to your colleagues in the late evening, early morning when traveling East for trade shows. The boys help keep each other awake with conversations in the post-midnight frame. Not as often today, but still takes place. I just listen and don't interrupt; after all, I'm just' a minivan.
If you don't have A CB in your Rig your not a trucker, your just a steering wheel holder. To many trucker don't have them and coming speeding round a corner coming down hill into stopped traffic
I put one in my Jeep, even though I know the off-road/4x4 people prefer GMRS now. Got mine (President Bill II FCC AM/FM/NOAA) mainly to LISTEN, not talk or for idle brainless/inconsiderate chit-chat. Specifically, I got mine for these reasons: 1. Listen to truckers on the freeways in case there is some sort of traffic slowdown or such, IF that's possible because as you say, there's WAY too much rude/inconsiderate trash-talkers on 19 to hear much legitimate talk/info. And they don't keep it SHORT, then get off -- they go on & on tying up a channel. 2. Listen to the NOAA weather channels -- definitely something I wanted on my CB in case of inclement weather coming. Got caught in a Colorado snowstorm (twice) I wasn't expecting back when I did NOT have a CB...it would have helped if I had known a storm (or a tornado, flooding, etc.) was expected. 3. If I'm in a convoy on-road or off, and I can STILL use CB if someone else has one to keep in touch close-up. Or, can just use my FRS hand-held (and loan one to another person) for very close distances such as that. 4. Finally, in a SHTF situation and if cell phone towers are down, I can try to (again, just LISTEN) find out what happened, either via my CB Base Station (President McKinley II FCC AM/FM/SSB/NOAA) in my apt or the via mobile CB out in my Jeep if I'm NOT at my apt. So for me, I though going CB was was worthwhile enough. ;-) Just wish the FCC would crack down on the cheaters (including the Super Bowl fools), BSers and other airhead/DFs who are messing-up CB today. AND, "revive" Channels 9 & 19 to keep them CLEAR as most people (apparently) have NO respect for those 2 channels anymore. Fo example, one fool here is CONSTANTLY on channel 9 -- coming in loud & clear -- jabbering on and on in SPANISH and ALWAYS seems to be on 9. HIGHLY annoying and he never shuts up. Also, I'd like to see every state's DPS/EMS system monitor channel 9 as it used to in case we want to report an accident or some other emergency. From what I've gathered, CB is kind of making a comeback, as now radios have FM band added -- great for clearer close-range use (like convoys on/off-road)...so it seems people are buying enough CB radios for the manufacturers to keep making them and taking it further by adding FM. But really, I'd like to see the trash on CB tracked-down and fined/jailed...they have NO business being on the air and as you said, the REST of us don't want to hear anything from them at all. -- BR
I leave mine on except when sleeping, I give updates, I listen for updates. I talk over just about anything out here, pushing 600+ watts, but I'm not a dick about it, flip the switch and I'm doing about 50watts and reaching the opposite traffic, giving them updates
I don’t mind the people he’s complaining about. I don’t like that they’re on channel 19. There’s 40 channels on CB and everyone knows if you tie up channel 19 you’re inconsiderate. Nobody wants to listen to an inconsiderate person and many of us just turn you off. It’s okay to make contact with people on channel 19, just take the conversation to another channel. If you’re preaching, announce your intention and tell everybody to meet you on another channel.
Started CB in the early 90's before cell phones when I started driving. Back then most local Police and Highway Patrol still monitored Ch. 9. Problem I have with CB today is the idiots on Ch. 6 and 11 bleeding the entire band with junk radios pushing 30k watts and just trying to cause interference. A local friend of mine calls them the hog farmers. I do really enjoy shooting skip on side band and freebanding to get away from the noise. I am also a Ham and 10m is the ticket right now with the solar cycle warming up. None of that garbage just good cons world wide. Talk to Europe and South America all the time. 73's
Dude you know 99% of the times you can go all day without hearing a single chirp on 19. When we find someone to chat with its rare and fun. Chillax bubba.
Cb's are used every day bye pnw logtruck drivers,and anyone who works in the woods! It's hiw you know were a fully loaded truck is at so you can get out of the way! Or dump truckers for the same way or going in & out of quarries!
OlD boomer here..... I've got a Cobra 29 LTD classic hooked up to a 102" whip antenna mounted on my chimney for a base station. It gets interesting when the skip gets active. Drive safe.👍
@@drowebd The ionosphere gets charged, ionized, by particles from the sun and the radio signals in HF bands, including CB, reflect from it and travel further than expected. There are also stratospheric "ducting" effects where high and low pressure zones in the atmosphere meet and refract the signals. Mostly on higher frequency bands.
You might also hear it called bounce or atmosphereic bounce. I was sittin in southern ohio at work one night and was getting bounce from somewhere that was spanish speaking. That can let you hear and maybe talk a long way off. Definatly an interesting subject@@drowebd
Where are these folks ? Before I got out of driving, I had a cb and it was always on (channel 19). I literally could drive an entire shift and heard absolutely no one , Except . Base Stations, I heard lots of Base Stations. Seriously, I could drive out in the middle of nowhere or into any major city and I heard absolutely no one . Except Base Stations . I did see lots of trucks and very few had cb’s and those that did , They had them turned off .
Went OTR in 1994 and to this day, I still have a CB radio in the truck. I even spent a number of years with two installed simply because I wanted one on 19 while I was chatting with other drivers on a different channel. Didn’t need to tie up 19 with long winded conversations. But, also didn’t feel comfortable not having 19 on in the background. It played a vital role before cellphones became the norm. A lot has changed over the years. People will ruin everything eventually. Be safe! Peace out!
It seems that import radios are on thearise a lot of friends and truckers have these import radios. I wonder if they gonna have an alternate to channel nineteen
@@darrelldundee5045 there are many other channel options. Society has pretty much trashed 19 and truckers behind the wheel have a hard time communicating on that channel or get tired of listening to some mouth running 1.21 Gigawatts as he’s so desperately seeking attention. Even if it is negative.
Listening for accidents and other types of problems and obstructions while driving is why I have one in my truck. I have been on CB since 1970 when I was commuting periodically between Coast Guard base Miami Beach and later Coast Guard base Key West and my family home in Manatee County FL.
Wife and I do a lot of road trips and I put a radio in our vehicle so we could get information about wrecks, road conditions, ect. and I have to absolutely agree with your assessment. Haven’t heard to many conspiracy theorists, but definitely plenty of “preachers” that I don’t know what language they’re even speaking. Always had a radio in my truck as a younger man back in the mid 90’s and there’s a huge difference in how it’s used now. I don’t even know if law enforcement monitors the cb if you would need to get ahold of them for something. I’ll always keep one in every vehicle I own just in case, but I don’t know I’d call it as useful as it used to be
We use them daily running bulk materials so if you see a dump truck, end dump, belly dump, side dump, bulk trailer they got their ears on all across Oklahoma from ch1-21 but 1,4,and19 is what we use locally
i remember around 1976 when my dad and mom got cb radios. It was alot more disciplined. Remembering stopping at a choke and puke to take a 10 100. smoky reports etc.
*Why are CBs dying out? As a non-trucker, I don't see other technologies taking the place of a CB so I'm curious. Mobile phones are great if you know who you want to talk to, but if you're just driving and don't know who is around you that doesn't do you much good. So....I'm confused. Anyone here a trucker who can put some light on this for me?*
There are probably enough CB radios sitting dusty on family shelves and attics for every adult in the US to have one. I think the problem for truckers might be the fact that so many trucks are company owned and it requires some skill to install a decent antenna and tune it to the truck. If TSHTF CB radios will be a logical cheap communications medium. You can make a CB base station with some lamp cord and a 12V battery.
Very interesting perspective, lots of hobbyist users which is what I use the 11M CB radio for here in EUROPE, and I regularly talk to stations from all across the world when the conditions are active (Skip talk) on SSB. I can hear American truck drivers on channel 19 here in the UK sometimes but they are overpowered by the jammer stations that you mentioned (The desert mud duck ect) and it is a shame. 73.
The big thing is if the CB was used for what it should be there would be no more of those big multi vehicle pileups. I am retired but I still have my radio on in my pickup truck when I am traveling. But yes, there are also those that are sitting at home with a power amp just saying stupid stuff just for the purpose of pissing drivers off.
CB used to be fun back before cell phones became common place. Sometimes I'll install one for long, long road trips and I usually have to turn it down when the language goes too far south for my kids to hear.
I'm a former trucker. Doing some driving in my car where it would be helpful to get traffic info. Got a magnetic antenna and fired up the old cb. Can't even get a radio check at a truck stop. How do I get info on accidents and road conditions?
And when all the junk in space starts colliding and phones and internet don't work no more, my neighbors will be lined up to use my Cobra 25 . . . How much should I charge per minute 😁
Genuine question from a non-trucker: if CB radio is less popular now than it was back in the Convoy and Smokey and the Bandit days, is there some other form of (internet-based?) voice chat that truckers now use instead while they're on the road? If so, what exactly?
Came across your video by chance while researching another CB related topic. I have two CB radios (in different locations) that are set up as base stations, but can easily be transitioned to mobile use. They are dedicated to emergency use only (i.e. natural disaster, backup communications system, etc.). I monitor channels 9 and 19 for informational purposes when necessary and rarely transmit on ANY channel. I do have other radio communications available, but there is nothing cheaper, easier to obtain and use than a CB radio.
My grandfather used the cb radio like Elon musk using Twitter. He had a 82 peterbuilt cabover truck. He ran between stockton ca and Atlanta Georgia. He had a stock broker in Atlanta. He had suitcases apon suitcases of paper stocks. He promoted stocks he bought. And that trucker died a multi millionaire.
I still like CB Radio If I see accident of a papa bear or a baby bear or stuck at a toll bank. Or traffic jams. Keep short or brief Tell information on road or receiving info on Highway
I bought a tool box for my truck last spring I found on FB Market and the guy threw in an old CB radio with an antennae that fits on the box. It's not installed yet, got other things to do to the pickup truck first, but eventually I'll get it installed. I do remember very well the days of the 70's when CB's were the roads salvation to communication. But the last time I had one in the early 2000's , it was hard to listen to with all the cussing and raging going on taking up the airspace. I only turned it on when it was necessary to get road information. Maybe that's why I'm not in a hurry to get this one installed! "Breaker breaker one-niner, anyone got their ears on?"
I don't usr CB like I used to anymore now that I have my GMRS License I've had since 2017 I only use GMRS unless I take a long trip then I use cb to keep up with traffic tie ups where old Smokey is hiding where eat-'em-up joints are or where I can get some go go juice etc.
Back in 1983, before I got my ham license, I was on CB/11 Meters. There was a local group of folks who hung out on Channel 1. I still occasionally tune down to 11 meters and most of what I hear (not close to the highway) are "CB DXers" who use made-up callsigns consisting of their telephone area code, giving each other a distorted, overmodulated "shout out." Nothing wrong with that, if they stay in band. The "SHTF" crowd is all over the internet trying to find the best radio to use when SHTF, but CB is there and is well known, and everyone knows how to use it. These guys will be totally lost on GMRS.
I’ve been fascinated by cb/ham radios since k was a kid. When I was 20 I built my first base station added an amplifier. I’m 38 and I have loved it ever since.
I have a CB in the truck (3/4 ton Chevy) just for the gravel quarry. Recent trip from Little Rock to Houston, thought I'd listen in. Why is it that almost everyone I heard using the CB sounded like they just left Talladega after drinking a rack of Busch light? Granted, there were some helping when a traffic snarl on 59 had everyone jammed up, but damn.
Greetings to all the cbers out there. CB is still alive in central Arkansas. The highway 270 radio group is on channel 35 l.s.b. y'all quit listening to the guy in this video and come up to 35 and give us a shout. Echo is clear. 73s
Ham of 50 years, expert CW op, and both - 11m and the 'freeband' are a big part of my radio hobby. 11m and the freeband are thriving in the Midwest. 73 dit dit
It’s amazing, the CB can be quiet as a mouse for hours but as soon as you hit a backup, people get off their social media, phones, or whatever else they are doing to try and find out what’s going on. Those same people are riding down the road with smoking brakes, flat tires, loose straps, or no lights on the trailer and are too busy making RU-vid videos, or pod casting with their feet on the dash to be bothered with the trivial shit of trucking…They are probably the same ones that don’t pull forward after fueling, or taking their 30 minute breaks in the fuel island. It’s a brave new world out here🤦♂
Any comms is good comms. I keep CB when Jeeping. Jeep clubs have all gone GMRS, which I have also, along with Ham 2M/70cm. When I hit the road with the camper, the CB always comes with. There is no substitute for CB. I can always reach someone when on the highway, and it's always good to keep one's "ears on" to know from the opposite direction...what I'm about to drive into.

Hello from Québec 🇨🇦, I use cb as an outdoorsman traveling on narrow logging roads where logging trucks need to call their mile (km) marker going in or out, avoiding head on collisions. I receive sooo much static or rambling, mostly from the southern states, on ssb, boosted tx power, skipping. 7:42
Yes, I bought one for info on interstate traffic but realized that Google Maps gave me better information without all the foul-mouthed chatter and bickering. I tried, but gave up on it.
Sad those types are clogging channel 19 when they have 39 other channels. That said, I am reinstalling a CB (among other radios) after decades, into my SUV so I can have situational awareness on the highway.
Do you think that the GMRS (licensed by FCC) would be better, or do you use them? Do you know of other truckers that use those channels for what you were discussing? As relevant highway communications?

Here in Britain, wagon drivers still use cb. Mainly tipper drivers when they need to talk to the shovel driver in quarries. You still hear people rag-chewing on the muppet band, but alot of people now use 446 pmr instead. The main users in Britain are now DXers using modified ham radios and directional aerials.
Seems like they would still be a necessity for truckers seeing how you don’t have one another’s phone numbers. It would be nice if they could figure out a way to block individual radios out so you could mute the preachers and other idiots.
Most of the CB memories I had in the 60s we're very professional Rees call channel 11 in the Bay Area and it was always very professional. I was only 15 years old or 16. Not sure that's what got me into Ham Radio.
Back in the day I had a cobra with the new 40 channels and yes single side band. What would you recommend to use in my highway only four wheeler? FM, GRMS, FRS? Just something that won’t break the bank and keep me informed.
I can remember back when all of us CB'ers had to have a license (and yes, even I had a CB license back then too, (KAPD 9331)), and also when CB'ers had their own little groups which stayed on their own designated channels for their particular local areas and only got up on channel 19 (the Truckers Channel), or channel 11 (the Pilot Cars channel), once in a while when they wanted to chat with a trucker or a pilot car. Some of the times a Trucker or a pilot car would drop down on a local group's channel when they were in a specific area just to ask questions or chat with somebody specifically. Generally everbody got along just fine and had lots of fun and many coffee breaks. Generally all hours of the day or night (at least until around 1 AM when everybody got tired and went to bed). Over-all ,you could find most local groups just chatting with each other on the CB Radio or down at the local cafe or at another CB'ers house having a Coffee Break, while chit-chatting (commonly called Chewing the Rag, or Rag Chewing), together and just sitting around enjoying each others company and/or playing family oriented style games around the Bar-B-Que Grill in the back yard as a small neighborhood get together group. I'm not saying that a CB'er didn't get angry once in a while and out of anger and abused the CB Radio band, because they did. It just didn't happen very often, and when it did, the abuser usually got on the radio when he or she had calmed back down and appologized for his or her actions and bad conduct and all was forgiven. They didn't just keep on abusing the channels and everybody else out there continuously like the ones on CB Radio now do. Everything was just fine and dandy that is until that movie "Convoy" came out. And then the CB Radio Band and the CB Radio Channels quickly went to Hell In A Hand Basket. Chaos errupted upon the channels and broke out everywhere across the band and the country. There were CB Radio Abusers everywhere. The CB Radio Band has gone down hill ever since because of the CB Radio Channel Air-Wave Abusers. It's also become nothing more than a bunch of Power Hungry, High Power abusers shooting long distance Skip DX's with High Output Powered Power Amplifiers which is illegal on the CB Radio Band anyway. Right Now I've got a GMRS License, and I'm studying for my Ham Radio Technicians license. And yes, I've still got most of my CB Radios and my other CB equipment. In fact, I just spent the whole day today building a Base Antenna mast out of metal pipe and other scrap materials. Hopefully, I'll get my base antenna back up tomorrow or the next day, or at least by the end of the week.
