CB Radio Suggestions?

Is the CB being added for looks only?
Not criticizing, but if you do get a functional unit, will there be anyone out there to talk with?
There is a long distance truck driver in the group that I golf with in the summer. I asked him once about CB radios, as I remember and participated in the mid 70’s CB craze. I had a 23 channel Cobra. His reply was, ‘ I don’t know anyone that uses a CB radio today’.

If I add one it’s gonna be functional. No use having it in a daily just for show. I know a few people in my area who do cb and ham. I’m looking at potentially road tripping cross country this summer and know plenty of truckers who swear by it still as a way to get information about accidents and speed traps, so that’d be a nice benefit
