In today’s modern world, advances in telecommunications occur so rapidly that we are sometimes in danger of being left behind. Woe betide the businessman who allows this to happen for it is his competitor who embraces the new technology who will in the long run end up in front. As an aid for all forward-thinking people, I have taken it upon myself to provide a short beginner’s guide to understanding the language commonly in use on the modern Citizen Band radios (or as they are known in common parlance, ‘CBs’). Many of you may have seen these devices in use in recent films such as ‘Smokey And The Bandit’ and ‘Convoy”. At first glance, the language used in these movies is bewildering but with practice you to can master the art of ‘trucker talk’. Who knows, you may even decide to buy a ‘CB’ wireless of your very own. So good luck, and keep on truckin’!
