I looked into having one before I had a consistent truck. Best I saw had like a 1 mile range it was a Cobra HH 50. I just ended up using a regular CB and moving it everyday instead, so i can't really help with a review.
Handheld CB's do not have any range at all. Use your money to buy a good CB, have it tuned up and buy a good portable antenna. You will be glad you did as it only takes a few minutes to connect the antenna.
There are cigarette lighter power cord plug ins for a CB, as well as vice grip-like clamps for antennas that I've seen for sale at a variety of truck stop chains.
