    I just want to say I sooooo admire you truck drivers. I had two of them, lost both within a year of each other. I still tear up when I watch the big rigs roll by. God Bless and keep safe all of you. Thank you for what you do, what you have to put up with from 4 wheelers. I know about that. Please be safe. You are loved by someone.

    I use cheap $10 readers for close-up stuff like reading and small parts. Used to wear "coke bottle thick" bifocals for years until I developed cataracts. Now have synthetic lens in both eyes. The good part is my vision is corrected to 20/20 now.

    I travel from Ohio to Florida a couple of times a year. I travel with a CB for listening but rarely talking. I am amazed that there is so little chatter on the CB these days as compared to 15 years ago. Used to be endless chatter about bears, crashes, backups, "gators" in the roadway, seat covers and who knows what else. Lots more fun in years past.

    I have one in my Ram 1 ton. Good tool for road and traffic conditions.Wife and I got stuck on I-20 near Canton Texas during a triple tornado event. Both of our phones were blowing up with alerts but no real info. With the CB and some good truckers I was able to get locations of tornados by mile markers.We ended up being between 2 of the 3. We were fine: odd seeing a 3' oak tree laying across the interstate when tree line was 400' from the interstate.

      I still and will always run a cb in my personal and big truck the newer generation I guess doesn't care about what's ahead of them or ta ask for local information, instead they'll make wrong turns or take no truck routes. The industry is definitely not what it was when I started driving in 78.👍🇺🇸🙏

I still run into a few other drivers who have their ears on! I drive naked alot and I'm just waiting for someone to notice and say something 😮

    Have you ever used RAIN-X on your windshield (side windows too) ? Since you're on the highway a lot you'd never need to use your wipers. Rain water just blows off and you'd have a FULL clear windshield in the rain, not just where the wipers wipe. Give it a try.
