a few questions about<br />
his trucking career<br />
“<br />
Yes. [It’s the]<br />
No. 1 one safety<br />
device for truckers.<br />
It gives you traffic<br />
updates faster than<br />
a GPS — especially<br />
in snowstorms.”<br />

Do you still use a CB radio?<br />
“<br />
Absolutely you need<br />
a CB! If you run into stop<br />
traffic you need to grab the<br />
mic and let people behind<br />
you know! If you see a wreck<br />
on the other side you need<br />
to let the other drivers know.”<br />

“[A CB] is a<br />
must, just like,<br />
duck tape, a<br />
cooler, an inverter,<br />
straps, bungee<br />
cords, gloves and<br />
sunglasses.”<br />
