So it’s my second day on the job with a Class A CDL and my first day driving without a trainer in the cab (though he was ahead of me in his own truck). The day has gone well, barring the mishaps that happened early in the day (I won’t mention anything here to avoid another flood of “it’s my third day and this happened” memes.) and we just put an older CB radio in my truck so it would have one. It’s not tuned or setup right, and we tried with no effect to get it going before our trip started. Around the middle of it, we’re all cruising in Wisconsin and the trainer (my dad) phones me up and says he can hear Mud Duck again. I can’t hear it, but somehow he can, and I hear him in the background of the call, so I start to fiddle with the CB dials until I can get his signal. During the very brief breaks he gives when he’s back to the bench, I called in a radio check. Dad answered in loud and clear. Mud Duck might clog up the channel, but at least he’s good for something.
