Looking for advise from yall. what CBs and Hands free devices are good/you like ect. gonna be needing to pick them up here before too long.
Scott, if you're driving for Schneider, they don't allow hands free devices when you are driving. You can only use the phone when you are stopped or parked, hands free or not. I assume that applies to CB radio use also.

i was gonna.. but those 2 items and a few other issues i read up on about them turned me away. going West Side Transport
I use the Uniden Bearcat 880 CB, and the Blueparrot 250xt for my hands free calling. They both have worked well for what I need.

the new school lcd stuffs or the old style?
I have both types of CBS. One is three years old, while the primary is from the mid 1980s.
I have the cobra 29 LCD and a plantronics earpiece for hands free. I never liked the over the head style for bluetooth. Depending on the truck you get, you might need to invest in an antenna for the trucks cb. I put a 7 ft whip on mine to reach above the cab. Increased a couple miles when I did that.

Please do not assume “that”. You might want to ask them...
All about safety; CB’s can be monitored for traffic backups, accidents and dangerous road conditions well in advance of taking any emergency or evasive action. This can be accomplished without ever using the mic.
Ill expand on this a lil... say i get a truck with no factory Ant. whats a good one to grab?
