But if there is a problem on the interstate highways, what is the radio of choice for the quickest information? Isn't it going to be the CB? My brother was coming to Dallas the evening before we were leaving to go snow skiing. An ice storm was in full force and I-20 was shut down east of Dallas due to ice or related accident. The story is crazy, but the traffic came to a standstill in 20 degree weather at midnight with no law inforcement going around to explain anything. Using his CB he was able to learn of the shutdown that would not open back up til the next morning. We had to catch a plane so that was a no go. He and some others got in their cars, made their way off the highway, slept in some nearby town and got to Dallas in time to catch the plane. What is the preferred information line on the interstate highways? The CB has it's place there among the truck drivers who seem to know a lot about what's going on. Comments?
