Found same thing in Idaho industrial logging areas last summer. loggers said I was crazy running around with out cb. Bought hand held and dash mount professional installed.
All down I-5, wa to Bakersfield, heard only a few truckers. Used frs/gmrs on Camino and hole in the rock rds.
But will hold onto cb,s for north woods.
Ditto on in reach. Just been paying 14$ a month ( last 4 yrs) for piece of mind. Always in pack, weather on back, in quad or truck
