CB radio channel?

[hdm48]

This may sound corney to some of you but I saw a TDR sticker on a rig the other day and I had no way to catch it 'cause of traffic. Sooo I would like to see if there is a way for TDR members with CB radios to moniter a common channel. My wife does not like it when I drive with it on, but, if you have the volume down low and if you know that the word 'TDR' ment something you could pick it out even with the low volume. what if you are two lanes over from a fellow member and he/she needs help or directions or whatever and no one can contact you. After all, you don't have internet access driving down the road. Just a thought.

Nothing corney whatsoever about that. As a matter of fact, a lot of Company Drivers usually have one or two channels upon which most of the drivers use in order to not be forced to listen to the garbage on "Sesame Street" aka Ch. 19.



Unless I'm playing like James Bond on one of those "Secret Agent Double naught spy channels", I'm usually on Ch. 4 shooting the breeze with many of my American Freightway pals.



Another idea would be for each who regularly carries and operates a CB, would be to add the ch. #'s they normally monitor or use near the TDR emblem, back window, or bumper to enable the other person to hail them. Back in the years when the use of call letters was in vogue, I had my callsign, letters, and ch. #'s stuck on the back window of my Chebby K-Blazer. Nowadays I have a small "6x12" (approximate size) stamped plate bearing my call sign on the back of my truck.

The 4x4 guys use 4 on the trail.



What about 6?
