Ok i am very new to this,and i had a question about talking on the CB.I always hear,"I am just passing mile marker 128" or "I am approaching mile marker 66",i was wondering how you know what mile marker you are passing,and how you know which mile marker it is.thanks for the help

Every mile along most interstate highways are green little signs that tell you the MM. Don't forget when someone tells you something important like mm's or bear reports or something like that say Thank You GOOD BUDDY..This always gets a response from your fellow trucker brothers. Remember Say GOOD BUDDY..

10-4 buckaroo Good buddy ,CB friend of mine.

Oh boy Dragon Master do you want smokeater to get his head handed to him? I hope he knows your being sarcastic about the "good buddy" stuff. I have heard more threats of violence over this good buddy stuff than it is worth. The correct response to bear reports, back ups etc. is to return the favor to the traffic heading in the opposite direction and sign off with "thank you driver" or "have a safe trip." By the way forget about all the cb code lingo like 10/20,10/04, 10/33 and all the others. Only 1% seem to use them out here and I suspect the majority havent got a clue as to what the codes are supposed to mean anyway (just calling it like I see it).

Ummm..... they don't use the Good Buddy slang any longer.

Unless of course your sexual preference leans toward the masculine gender.
