The Lead Pedal Podcast for Truck Drivers

Tips on Improving C.B. Performance with Part-time Johnny

Does anyone still use Citizen Band Radios anymore? Old school drivers swear by them and new drivers don't even have them installed. We talk with C.B. builder Part-time Johnny who makes those using radios extremely happy with the power. Radios have been critical in saving the lives of many drivers over the years and are still an important communication tool in the transportation industry. You can find Part-time Johnny on Facebook and Instagram.
