Depending on where you are, there might not be anybody on air......i have driven as far as 400 miles and never heard a soul. Anymore, all of the truck drivers are on their cellphones.  | |||

Channel 19 for truckers. Just go near a truckstop and you wish it would not work. Some real idiots some time on the air. Otherwise good for "bear reports" and traffic jams. Like shadowman said, everyone is on Sirius or Cellphone. 1999 Bluebird Custom 33' 8.3 Cummins diesel pusher Former owner 1989 Barth Regal 25' | |||

My son is an owner/operator and complains about them being on the cellphones or listening to something other than the CB and then when there are problem, they are asking around as to what is going on . His ex-father-in-law is a trucker to and in listening to him talk about his experiences, there is a lot of value to the CB when there are bad road conditions. etc. | |||

As of Jan 4th the fines for truckers are STEEP. If a commercial truck driver is caught talking on a "hand-held" cell phone, they are looking at about $2,700 in fines. It doesn't stop with the driver... The driver's employer could face up to $11,000 in fines as well.

Is that a federal or state law? Enforcement could be difficult.........In a semi truck cab, if the driver has enough sense to hold the phone in his right hand, it will be hard to detect from the left side of a typical sedan. I would like to see extra stiff fines like that for SUV drivers, too. As a motorcycle and bicycle rider, I get to see a lot, and the most dangerous vehicle is a black expensive SUV with tinted windows, personalized license plates and a USC license plate frame driven by a blonde on a cellphone. Pimp wheels add to that, but they are not usually seen with the USC license plate frame. . 84 30T PeeThirty-Something, 502 powered | |||

I am amazed how many truckers still holding that phone even with these fines. I have a first class view right into their cabs and it is talking, texting or the Qualcom (their onboard computer). The four wheelers, they are talking, drinking, putting makeup on, reading books, eating, slapping the kids. I wish people would just DRIVE. 1999 Bluebird Custom 33' 8.3 Cummins diesel pusher Former owner 1989 Barth Regal 25' | |||
