Another vote for the Cobra 29XLT.I spent a little more on mine to get the digital readouts, color change on the screen (comes in handy at night) , and Bluetooth capabilities. Has all the weather alert systems as well. Think I paid $159 2 yrs ago for it. Just run it through the factory mounted antennas and I've had no complaints.

Nothing can get you farther in this industry than following the sage advice of the late Patrick Swayze in the movie Roadhouse......." Be nice."

You might be a trucker if......
You only stop at truck stops on your way to the beach.
You try to swipe your rewards card at the gas pumps.
You reach for the CB mic when you see slow traffic.

If you like old cars I strongly recommend a stop at Russell's Truck and Travel Center, exit 369 on I 40 near Glenrio, NM. I stop there every time I pass and when I have the chance to take my 10 hr break its incredible just to see the sunrise or sunset. To me its just amazing to witness the beauty this country has to offer just riding along.

A second to what Robert said. A good pair of comfy sneakers is a good choice. I also keep a pair of boots in the side box.

If you enjoy good BBQ and you're on I 75 in Georgia a must stop is Ole Rudy's BBQ at Exit 201 next to the Flying J. They have their own truck parking lot and will even deliver to the other truck stops at that exit.

My two least liked parts of the job...
I've used the Rain-X in the spray can on my windshield and windows since I started driving. Once every week usually works wonders.
