So a CB radio is like a COD lobby?

“I ain’t got no panties on com’on” 😂😢

That mud duck in the desert guy

I have installed a CB radio in every vehicle I have ever owned. I will never have a vehicle without a CB in it, even if it's just a little Cobra 19, which is my current setup in my Ram. I had a different Cobra 19 in my 2014 Malibu when a guy had stopped in the roadaround a blind curve and put his car in park, in very heavy fog, at night, and his car was black and because I could not tell that he was stopped since his foot was off the brake with his car in park, I did wind up rear-ending him, and that little CB literally saved my life because I was able to warn Truckers before they got to the Curve one actually did come within a car length and a half of hitting me before he was able to stop, but a CB is extremely useful, and they do need to make a huge comeback along with a lot of common sense

I'm a container hauler in Cincinnati. We use CBs to talk to the cranes at the rails. My cb is always on. I wish all my companies trucks would have them turned on outside the rail. Accident reports traffic snarls. Just to say hi. It would be 😎 to have a business band. I ran for a local outfit once that ran business band we knew of traffic snarls and speed traps before the news people did. Really had better comradely back in the day.

“Back to the bench watch out for those window lickers” says the duck in the dessert

Last 5yrs of my trucking career I never even turned my on . When I started trucking 50yrs ago it was a very good tool and it was nearly impossible to do certain things without it , but as the world went and got more insane , crooked , and down right stupid I left it off .

'Hard drive the scammer in the desert"

Squelch up, RF gain down....a mile or two is all I need.

I hear that damn guy everywhere!!! 😂😂😂

I hate that dude! He talks about how others are jealous of his radio. You can't hear any important information when he is interrupting everyone

that "highway and byway" guy is harddrive, the biggest scammer of the cb community in a long time

Back in the day we used to play a game on the radio called fishing for truckers, we would get truckers so mad they’d be driving all over Fairfield trying to rabbit hunt us. With a high enough vantage point and variable power we would lead them wherever we wanted. When you’re standing on a heater with a modded d104 you were pegging their meter all over town and the modulation would be off the charts. I got on to my son for trolling people on the internet and realized I did the same crap but on a cb

I'm not a trucker, but I still use cb. Got a nice one n my pickup truck, and older cobra n my jeep, and a portable one to loan to people. We use em for off road trips and stuff where phones don't work. As for use on major highways, I've noticed the use of cb's has declined a LOT over the years. I can drive 100 miles in a busy area and hardly hear anything g while in scan mode. Would be cool to see cb make a comeback.

The New Mexico District Attorney is building a case against Hard Drive. If anyone bought a radio and didn't get it, contact the DA. It is estimated that he embezzled over a million dollars in the past few years.

I laughed way too hard at this. My husband has a base station and every time I hear that guy say "highways and byways" I lose my shit. The fact that he says it LITERALLY every 5 seconds makes it even worse

Racial Slurs are awesome and still protected speech except for KZfaq. Italians called the Irish 'Soupbone' and we called them "Guineas" back. These slurs help us to ease the tensions of living in a multi-cultural world and trying to get along. Freedom of Speech.

They can be found. When I was in high school it was a big thing to basically play hide and go seek with our CB’s. Back then we had the old swing needles that showed signal strength. I had a 23 channel Midland that worked great for tracking down people. I’d hear people on the interstate talking smack and would get right behind them and tell everyone their tag number and what they was driving. Man those were great times!!!!!

I'm in pa and I hear that guy everyday. And on Saturday with my base station my wife can't stand that guy

That skip you’re talkin about is soooo annoying.. that’s when I turn my radio off. Seriously it’s no wonder nobody has them anymore. Between those guys with the linear radios and the ass hats that play music thru their mics like we need to hear that.

And watch out for those window lickers. Remember safety first while your out there on those highways and byways....

I have never owned a rig without a radio in it.

Just recently picked up a ~40 year old “Kraco” CB. It’s covered in woodgrain, weighs about 30 pounds, and is big enough to be used as the case for a mini ATX computer setup 😂

I like the fights. I enjoy how creative guys get when fighting each other.

Fixing to get my 1st cb radio, thinking of a cobra 19 ultra compact cb

In the 90's My friends and I used to track CB signals. we were able to find about 60% of the people causing trouble. Never confronted anyone but it was fun to try and find them.

Being a dump truck driver , they're required to communicate with the scale house and loader man . Even most job sites use them to communicate with the driver .

The bad- Hard Drive plugging everyones ears every day

The guys with powerful setups are the ones that are perfecting and have been perfecting the technology throughout the years and they have their own channels, there is 40. Telecom companies television, radio also do that but they do it because they are very rich and charge everyone a lot of money to use that service. In the future, and also in many countries, CB is the most reliable form of communication and you don't have to go through some monopoly middleman just to use long range communications technology

You must be hearing the guy out of the desert in California. I live in Michigan and he’s loud and clear.

Oh no! Imagine a world where you are free to say whatever you want!!

“Back to the bench” guy gets me every time 😂

Hehe... we used to do fox hunts.. we very much CAN find you if you transmit enough. And so can the FCC.

Lol.... Mud Duck! I want to cut his coax!

You know what we used to say in a professional business stopped crying and start mind. If you want to be a big-time truck driver and have a big Tom radio then you have to spend big money.😂😂😂

I'm a trucker and my uncle has 30years in the industry and he told me that lot lizards use to have cb radios to hook up with drivers

"Back to the bench"! What a friggin tool

Y’all know what really gets old. Governed at 65, driving in a 80. Car comes off the on ramp, sees you. They barely match your speed and either have to stop, or get you to scoot over. Now, when they stop right, it aggravates them. So they’ll speed up and fly around. Now why couldn’t you just fucking do that in the first place coming off the on ramp.

Just mount your antennas old school. On the mirrors. You can hear distance that way. If someone is a problem, turn t he squelch till you can't hear them. Use t h e radio as intended as a tool to help you communicate with co-workers and customers. Focus on being able to hear other truckers calling out cdl related issues to keep moving.... and to stay alive...its saved me on several occasions.

How about that feller out in his garage with the 2 interstate batteries hooked up. They must have one heck of an antenna array for us to hear them all over the country.

People need to be careful about wanting the FCC to start moderating the citizen band. Though I can't stand a lot of the shit that goes on CB, the government needs to keep its distance! The piece of crap government already monitors enough frequencies. FJB!!

Pssst… I ain’t got no panties on 😂

The CB was Twitter before Twitter. I cant stand guys that keep channel 19 tied up with B.S. stories when your trying to use it for an emergency

Funniest thing I ever heard on CB. Guy randomly comes on.... "Ooo, I'm not wearing any panties, either. They call me Sticky Buns.' 🍩🍩🍩🍩

My first truck had a CB radio installed. My friends and I had a blast fucking with randoms. We were young and dumb.

Those fools make CB unusable

Yes son. Good to have a CB Radio

I really hate that guy from mudduck radio

CB radio will save your life on the highway.

I am in NC I put my squelch half and RF gain half and it usually makes the back to the bench guy go away..

Too many wrong things to worry about with having a CB radio.

Chicken Band has always been the Wild West. 25 Watts…riiiight.

I know how you feel brother. Not too long ago I went up into my storage shed and pulled out some General Electric 40 channel CB transceiver has that I bought a long time ago still in the original boxes and in mint condition. So I went to my local Harbor Freight picked up some batteries because each one takes eight batteries oh yeah eight batteries crazy. Install the batteries turned on the radio and I couldn't believe what I was hearing on the channels. Yeah people using profanity Channel 9 and channel 11 especially Channel 9 which was used for an emergency Channel in case you broke down on the road is all full of garbage traffic. And forget about Channel 11 and ask for the famous breaker 1-9 for channel 19 it's the same business of nasty stuff. Maybe if people come back to CB radio once again maybe I'll get cleaned up its a hope and a prayer but you never know

The guy your talking about is street sweeper in west palm beach florida! He is always asking who he’s reaching out in the desert since he can reach that far!

Breaker, breaker Little Bo Peep and the Lost Sheep to the Good Shepherd.

Back around 2008-2012 my dad “pepper” had the “Tulsa’s only bump bump station”

The worst things about a CB is that truckers talk more than pay attention and thing they're 'Road Regulators.' I'm saying some of them...not all. Usually the ones hanging out in the left hand lane while doing .016 mph faster than the truck they're passing

😂 Hey that nationwide guy… CB definitely goes off

Mud Duck. Dudes been driving me nuts. I was having a conversation with another driver in freaking NYC and he was talking over us. "Remember, saftey first while you're rollin and strollin on those hiways and biways, and try to be nice to each other on those radios... pay attention now... back to the bench."

Try 2 meters. Ham radio is a lot better, 11 meters (CB) has become a dumpster fire! It’s not difficult to get your license, but it’s enough to keep most of these scumbags off and the FCC actually enforces the rules on the ham bands. I got my license a few years ago and trust me 2 meters is civilized compared to 11 meters.

I've been driving for 12 years and i never needed a CB. Google maps is GOD!

Right...someone needs to shut him down..

Yeah I hate when those types of guys lay the hammer down on ya lol.

The 70s are calling they want their radios back 🤣

Mark Sherman needs shut down.

The Mud Duck in the Desert is truly ruining the industry, but don't let him ruin it for you. The radio is a necessity in our profession, which, if you have it turned off the chance of something happening increases. Just adjust the squelch and rf gain

I personally would greatly appreciate it if the FCC got back to looking at the CB channels, and especially if they’d track down and shut off the folks blasting too much power over the airwaves. If I’m trying to communicate with someone a few miles away, I have no need to hear somebody hundreds of miles away. If someone needs to converse over long distances, there are other bands for that.

I got a different trk and i didnt even hook my cb up in this trk. If i had mine on i either heard all cussing and swearing or pure silence even if trying to warn traffic. I remember when a kid dad put one in the pickup for vacation and once heard check out the "hot blonde at m.m. x north" in construction. Well we heading south. We saw the "hot blonde" but it was a dude with a beard halfway down chest with nice blonde hair halfway done his back😂😂 another time heard people bithing light was red all 4 directions over 5 minutes. Glad we was turning right so dad just crawked down shoulder stopped and turned

Best thing was, NO PILE UPS! Nobody has CBs now. They could care less if another truck is about to enter a pile up!!

Yeah, few of the guys I know absolutely hate that guy. I sure hope he goes “Back to the bench” and stay the hell out . He is annoying as hell.

EVER THINK ABOUT FM MODE FOR CB?

You can find them sometimes with the carrier if they are close by their signal will peg out. Its not easy but I have done it.

I actually enjoy every bit of it.

At least you are being honest. What made me throw my cb away was the racial remarks. 26 years driving and after the first 5 years, that cb went to the garbage can. Yup, no cb, driving 5 miles under the posted limit and still getting to my appointments on time. Yeah, very relaxing and satisfied. 👍

Not to mention you rarely get any kind of useful information from drivers anymore. This industry has become every driver for themselves. The Smokey and the Bandit days are long gone.

FM mode with CTCSS (FM mode only function),- is great for homes or properties that want zero noise breaking squelch interrupting the day or night, as typified by mere use of the radios “squelch” or “ASQ”. (automatic squelch) functions. CTCSS is better. Set the desired Code for the (same TX & RX usually) base, and any mobile on the chosen channel wishing contact. Here, the squelch can be off, yet the radio stays dead silent, UNLESS it receives a transmission with the chosen Code when on your chosen channel. Do not however, use CTCSS on any of the AM/FM or SSB Call channels (11, 35LSB 38LSB) or on any road channel (19 etc) OR the emergency channel 09! CTCSS makes for quiet homes where only the radios you program,- can be received on that channel. Other channels behave as normal.

I love the CB radio

U must be referring to that mud duck in the desert He’s gonna get what’s coming Break break

I hate those big mouth radios. Truckers need the radio to get vital information, but its hard to do with all the big mouth radios that just want to talk and be stupid.

BACK TO THE BENCH 😂 AND THAT WEIRDO WANTS PEOPLE TO BUY RADIOS FROM HIM 😂😂😂😂

They really just need to do away with the 27mhz citizens band and move it next to FRS/GMRS where it has no ability for ionospheric propagation. A good addition would be having a digital IDer.

Just heard the highway biway guy all the way in the bottom of the rock quarry. Shut my radio off lol

This has been going on for more years than you are old. You should have been around in the 70s when every 4 wheeler had one. You couldn't get a word in.

When I’m in Utah on the 15 between mile marker is 120 and 148 I pick up this guy from like Hawaii

I'm dropping a pair of radios in my car and truck but haven't been on CB since 1980. So, where is the FCC and why aren't they triangulating and shutting down these channel hogs? Other than that, I'm curious to see how much has changed and whether its even worth the effort.

Mud suck in the desert. Back to the bench

Never let bad apples run you off had my CB 24 years

the base stations who have no respect for cb users. rumor is local Leo pays them to keep us from reporting there activity.

I know what you're talking about. He says safety first while your rolling and strolling on them highways and byways and claims he's in the desert.

117 in the razorback, I GOT DOWN!!!! ⚡🎙️📡

Or they could just use another channel instead of 19

Skip is one thing but the big power is stupid

Haven't had a cb for at least 10 yrs don't miss it one bit

The highways and byways got me 😂 I hear that guy all the time

i got one good rule never get a front door named white night if said put the hammer down ( because he be in your back door with flashing lights ps he a smokey bear is a cop on duty) that a good rule! i also got one in my hunting truck the well driller & gas well workers monitor a channel for the county game-land & there wells sites on the road (sign on road this channel truck travel ps big rigs alert)

I have been yanking tanks for 25 years and this has been going on since I was a rookie...so I also turn off the CB Rambos

I haven’t turned on my cb radio in at least 3 years I put it in my new truck but didn’t even bother to hook it up I really don’t find the need for it anymore

Mudduck was doxxed. Use that information as you will

Yeah, that guy sucks. "While you're rolling and strolling on those highways and byways, back to the bench." I think skip was rolling a day or two ago. He actually heard me call him some bad names.

Back to the bench all day long. It’s like a recording.
