Do you have a CB “handle”? How did you come up with it?

    What I’m curious about is:

    1. What is your handle?
    2. Did you come up with it, or was it given to you by co-workers, boss, etc...?

    My handle is “Beethoven”. It was given to me by a co-worker because I had used his truck one day and left the radio station on a classical music station (only music I listen to).

    He said “I got in my truck and there was this violin music playing”, to which I said “it’s a huge improvement over that barnyard, hoe down crap you had programmed”.

    Lol

    p.s. if you’re ever around the Little Rock, AR area just shout out for Beethoven. I’m pretty well known with all the local drivers.

    “Mister money is no object”
    I use to say money was no object when I was single, no house, no kids, no pets running team. Lots of money in the bank. Friends started to call me that.

    “They call me . . . . “

    is the giveaway that, “The Terminator”, dreamt that one up in Momma’s basement. No one else gave it to him.

    I haven’t ever used one. Mainly because I’ve almost always been OTR. Rarely run into the same drivers.

    These days it’s mainly for locals trying their best to be the big fish in a small pond.

    I find it fun to mess with them based on an earlier diatribe they’ve made as it may have been months since I was last there. Catch them out. Tell them to go back home.

    Now, there are some who are well-known and helpful. I don’t wish to tar all with the same brush. But those others —back on the air every five minutes — are wearying.

    To use “a handle” the right way, IMO, is to have a different voice every time you go through. And ask the same ###### questions. Same order. Same replies to answers (even if it makes no sense; just read the script).

    Before too many trips, some deep swimming fishie will surface to take the bait.

    Or, use the same handle as the great big fat fishie. You’ll need a rig that booms to make it fun. The “can’t be ignored” radio rig.

    There’s no end of fun with “innocent” use of a CB handle.

    Really, it’s locals yakking at other locals. The Venn Diagram of overlapping 150-mile air radius drivers

    Just remember that drivers are like prisoners. Lifers. All the time in the world to figure out a scam. Make ‘em enjoy it.

    Not too much.

    Just a working handle of Earplugs which was useful with our blacktop work when both dumps are moving that day.

    Usually it's where is that *&^% deaf sob? Well there is not many of those out there. (That can hear that.) there were a few others but used only for a short time. Don't remember what they were now.

    I go by Kreg Sezz. If you see me, I will be beating a multi meter against the side of the truck when I can’t get a radio check from across the median.

    Why have I not found favor in the eyes of the impedance gods?
