Not many people bother with handles any more round our neck of the woods if you really want one I canā€™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 didnā€™t disengage when I switched it off ,but it didnā€™t last long.

In that case I could use pike (as in dadā€™s army pike)

I used my name as my handle ā€¦ Roger - that caused some fun :laughing:

Lots kept calling me on channel 19

So itā€™s you yet keep asking for then when Iā€™ve been down Leicester and they keep saying roger rogerā– ā– ?

Are CBā€™s still quite popular in the UK?

I live over in Ireland, thereā€™s still a few of the Irish lads using them but theyā€™re on a different frequency to whatā€™s used over in the UK. Iā€™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

Whatā€™s a CB :laughing:

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

Iā€™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, itā€™s like CB but without carrying a board and an arial etc

Can you explain this in more detail please.

Iā€™d never heard of it either.

I found This Youtube video which explains a lot.

Iā€™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 thatā€™s only 1 channel, thereā€™s many channels and also you can create your own, could have a trucknet channel :grimacing:
