Not many 4 wheelers these days have CB radios in their vehicles, let alone own one. I myself have 2 CBs but rarely have one with me. Only when I travel a long distance will I have one with me and have it on. 90% of vehicles out there on the highways these days only have that freekin cellphone with them. Most are too busy yacking on it, or too busy texting on it to pay attention to what's going on around them to give a warning to anyone, let alone a trucker.

I remember when a trucker passed another trucker, the one passed would flash their headlights so the one that passed would know it's clear to pull back in the lane. Then the one that passed would flash their tail lights saying thank you. Or they'd do it on the CB. And if a car or pickup flashed their lights, then you'd know they were a trucker, or probably were at one time. Or at least knew what truckers did to help each other out. I now see very very little of this help these days.
