Yes truckers still use them, some of the conversations are pretty entertaining too.

Well, in my 4Runner, I use a Cobra 19 and a regular 40 dollar fiberglass antenna but they're tuned properly and I get a good 5 mile site range. On my big rig, I got a Cobra 29 black chrome with a dual antenna setup which consists of two K40 whip antennas properly tuned and peaked and tuned cb radio.
You must properly match your CB radio and antenna in order to achieve a good signal, not mention you don't want to fry your CB radio. The coax must be in measured in multiples of 3ft. Meaning, you can't have a 10 ft coax, it must be, for example: 9, 12, 15, 18 etc.
Theres also different types of coax for the number of antennas. I recommend you visit a CB shop. I see your in Chandler. Go to the Flying J truck stop I believe at exit 136? off I-10. There's a CB shop across the street. I recommend you buy a CB from a truck stop and not a retail store like RadioShack. Truck stops sell the same CB's alot cheaper.
Heres my setup in my big rig.

They are nice for getting into fights with truckers hopped up on speed who try to kill you by running you off the road for going the speed limit too. Crazy *****.

Yes, truckers get into verbal fights are usually illiterate people that are mad at the world with no morals in life. They're also the same guys that brag about having 9,000hp and 1.5 million lbs ft of torque and brag about going 500mph hauling super heavy loads.
