OH MY GOSH, HOW SCARY THAT WOULD BE!?
CB’S ARE NICE TO HAVE. THE ONE WE HAVE IN OUR TRUCK WILL LET YOU KNOW OF A WEATHER ALERT EVEN WHEN ITS TURNED OFF. IT WILL BEEP REALLY LONG & LOUD. YOU WILL HAVE TO TURN IT ON TO THE WEATHER CHANNEL CAUSE IT WONT LET YOU HEAR THE BROADCAST ONLY THE ALERT BEEP. BUT IF ITS ALREADY ON IT WILL BEEP AS WELL, YOU JUST HAVE TO SWITCH THE CHANNEL OVER. ALSO, YOU CAN LISTEN TO THE TRUCKERS, COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE WAY, ABOUT SITUATIONS OR ASK THEM QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ROUTE AHEAD OF YOU. (NOT ALL OF THEM ARE JERKS) I CANT IMAGINE HAULING WITHOUT OUR CB. IT’S A BIG HELP.

It would be very scarey in a storm, and no place to go for shelter for the horses. It would be best to really plan and look ahead at the weather.
