Reason # 74 to keep your CB ON!

[DubbleD]

Still a convenience, not a need. You choose to use one, great. I'm not saying it's an evil device, and I won't tell someone not to use it. But I have had a few people try to say I was less of a professional because of my choice not to use it. That ticks me off.

I'm sure those drivers stuck on I40 got where they were going. And anyone who has driven for more than 2 weeks knows construction on I40 in AR means a killer backup. Though there was a time or two I jumped off onto US70 and that turned out to be just as backed up as the interstate. Glad you had clear sailing.

P.S. I wore fingerless gloves, too. What do y'all have to say about that?

Couldn't afford full coverage....eh?

LOL

Usually when drivers say you have a 20 mile backup, it's more like a 2 mile backup and the detour would have taken longer.

You got warning signs 50 miles before that I-40 construction, telling you to take an alternate route, and it is almost always backed up. You didn't need a CB for that one

or just sit and wait.....View attachment 20241

I prefer the most popular method each shipper or receiver likes to use to avoid any delays because someone has to walk outside and pound on the side of my truck.

Yeah your right about the 20 mile only being 2 miles, some woman I know tell me a lot of males have a hard time measuring small things.
But usually when the opposite side is telling the same thing over the course of 20 miles before you get to the back up its a safe bet its real.
And beings there was 2 rear end crashs and a broke down car in the construction we didnt take a chance. We didnt even wait til the 216 exit and got off at the 221

FYI, it's backed up to the 216 again today. Luckily, I have the option to just jump off and catch 79 all the way to the yard

That stretch of I40 really needs to be 3 lane, at least. It's crowded during normal operation, anytime something goes wrong it's an absolute disaster area.

I-64 from Richmond to Norfolk should be 3+ lanes.

It's only 1 lane now for several miles due to construction.

I don't even own a CB. Who needs them? If you can't see my middle finger, marker flash, or headlights, you shouldn't be driving.
