About 35 years ago i used CB and i do believe a lot of truckers still use it for police traps and stupid drivers. Channel 16 is band that most would use to report. They would switch to another channel for chit chat.
Not very many skilled truckers on road today. Most of the young bright drivers are not even aware of their tail gate distance when at 80k lbs. Full 40 ton tractor and trailer.
My advice is to always stay big distance from any tractor trailer.
Do you think the way their schedules have been tightened over the years has anything to do with that? I've heard stories...
I saw a driver other day on freeway going through rush hour here in dallas doing 20 mph and everyone was moving around him.
I could tell he was max limit , but was amazed how careful he was. Would have loved to talk to him.
Just do not see that kind of driving anymore.
I think the experienced drivers, drive safe. Schedule go to hell.
The inexperienced try to make schedule at all cost.
I've seen a lot drivers who I am surprised can even back into the loading dock.
Very little English.
