COMMON USES FOR A CB RADIO

Business Uses

Truck drivers and delivery personnel can learn road and traffic conditions and get assistance in locating destina- tions. A CB radio is also good company on those “long hauls.”

On construction crews, a CB radio quickly pays for itself when you are calling for additional materials or coordinat- ing the activities of different work crews.

For security officers, a CB radio is more than a conve- nience — it is a must for both safety and efficiency.

Personal Uses

Keep in touch with home while driving to work, to the store, or to a social activity. Let your family know you are tied up in traffic or that you will stop by the store on the way home.
