CB radios are the most prominent way that trucking companies keep in contact with their trucks on the road. Truckers depend on this way of communication not only for their livelihood, but also to pass the time on those lonely roads in the dead of night.
"He used to say there's not a lot to do in Los Angeles. He'd go up to the turret with French bread, mayonnaise and his radio and talk and eat."He spent his days in the turret of his house on Mulholland Drive on a CB radio.The jury is still out as to just who was responsible for the collapse of the financing but some things emerged intact, including the friendship between Daragh and Brando.There are many other small courtesies that truck drivers extend to one another. As newbies establish themselves with their trucking companies, the die hard truckers will eventually take pity on them and let them know the ins and outs of their �Secret society.� Some of these rules may be unspoken ones, but they sure do pave the way for a more enjoyable trucking experience. Now all these truckers need is a secret handshake!
For the most part, you have to worry only about yourself when it comes to the CB radio � the Golden Rule and all that! Take it for what it is � a handy tool that is needed for you to carry on with your job. Remember too that you represent your trucking company out there on the road, so be cognizant of that every time you use the CB radio.
