Cobra HH50WXST is a handheld that’ll keep you in the loop with weather updates

Check out the Uniden PRO505XL.

For a solid starter CB, you can’t go wrong with the Cobra 29 Series

You need a CB radio with a lot of bells and whistles. That way you can impress your trainer and your fellow drivers with your fancy gadget. You’ll also need a lot of money and space to install it.

You should get a Cobra 29LX Max CB radio. It has a lot of features that are useful for truckers, such as weather channels, Bluetooth connectivity, noise cancellation, and voice alerts. It also has a large display with four colors and adjustable brightness. It’s easy to install and use, and it has a good range and sound quality.

Galaxy-DX-959 CB radio. It’s one of the most powerful CB radios for truckers, as it can transmit up to 12 watts with single sideband (SSB) mode.

I know all you guys recommend having a CB but I just don't get it. I don't have one and I have no plans to get one either. I have no trouble at shippers or receivers. I get asked for a phone number way more often than I get asked if I have a CB.

Cobra 29, that's what I have and it works great.

You can pick up a Cobra 29 LX on Amazon for $99. And the less expensive/feature set models for even less (25 ltd for $69 - 19 DX IV for sub $40). Similar or less expensive on Ebay.

The Cobra 29 or the Uniden 78 have been the industry standard for decades. There's a wide variety of options you can choose from including different looks

I got a CB, and I'm glad I did

I always run my radio. It honestly is really quiet most of the time. I will occasionally pick up a couple of local drivers having a conversation but the only time it gets annoying is around the major cities.

+ Look at Google. If you only want it for communicating with shoppers and receivers then any of them will do for that.
