Not many people bother with handles any more round our neck of the woods if you really want one I can’t see a problem but mainly they are given , eg ā€œgearjammerā€ or ā€œdifflockā€ normally to do with less than complimentary situations, I was once called Griff the diff after the diff lock didn’t disengage when I switched it off ,but it didn’t last long.

In that case I could use pike (as in dad’s army pike)

I used my name as my handle … Roger - that caused some fun :laughing:

Lots kept calling me on channel 19

So it’s you yet keep asking for then when I’ve been down Leicester and they keep saying roger rogerā– ā– ?

Are CB’s still quite popular in the UK?

I live over in Ireland, there’s still a few of the Irish lads using them but they’re on a different frequency to what’s used over in the UK. I’ve not had one in the cab for quite a few years, they used to be great years ago when I was over in England. :slight_smile:

You can always create your own channel too, get your workmates and stuff onto your channel, like the old CB days

What’s a CB :laughing:

I must admit, I miss my old CB days, waynedl has always been and will always be what I’m known as.

I’m now in a different truck every week, so now I use Zello on the phone, on a channel called hgv drivers unite, but also other channels, it’s like CB but without carrying a board and an arial etc

Can you explain this in more detail please.

I’d never heard of it either.

I found This Youtube video which explains a lot.

I’m quite enjoying it whilst down the road tbh, especially with the missus working shifts, so ringing her is a pain in the ā– ā– ā– ā–  with my start / finish times.

Some ā– ā– ā– ā–  on there, as expected, but that’s only 1 channel, there’s many channels and also you can create your own, could have a trucknet channel :grimacing:
