26 www.FlatbedTruckingJobs.com February 2016 missed it. I hate snow traffi c — it's terrify- ing to me, so I sat at the house and worried about him for 48 hours. The fi rst phone call was reassuring, though, as I could hear the CB chatter in the background, loud and proud. "CB sounds good, babe. Good job fi x- ing it." "Yeah, I don't know, but I think I'm getting out pretty good, I know I got stuff coming in from miles away, I think I heard someone speaking in tongues a minute ago, but it could have just been one of the Canadian guys." "You got fi re in the wire, hunh?" "Copy that." Let them truckers roll, 10-4. And please, if you don't have a CB, think about get- ting one, and if you get one, use it for the tool it's meant to be used as, not your own personal radio show about whatever nonsense you care to spew. It's one thing to write funny stories and tell fi lthy lies at the counter, but the CB is a safety tool, and that's what it should be used for. Be safe out there.
