Does anyone have the list of channel use assignments for professional drivers for each selected freeway? I don't know what to use in california on the 395 and 14. If anyone could help it would be appreciated. Thank you

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

24 years ago, according to "Tomcat's Big CB Handbook", 19 + 21 were the two channels on 395. Highway 14 wasn't listed. I would repeat KI4RDO's suggestion to monitor each channel for awhile (as long as needed) to determine their local useage.

Well it has not always been ch. 19. used to be ch. 10 the dime channel. but there was so much bleed over on the national call channel 11 truckers agreed to change to ch. 19.
Yes and no. 10 was the original trucker channel but they soon moved to 19 to avoid bleed-over on channel 9 which shortly before the FCC ruled to be the national calling and emergency channel.
Actually I used 20 for tuning so I didn't get the truckers all upset being near 3 major highways and several depots. (;->)

Just for sheets and giggles I followed the link above and learned all kinds of stuff I wouldn't otherwise have sought out, like some CB channel history, wireless (read wifi) computer devices like mice, and the whole RC frequency allocation that keeps your RC B-52 from chasing down your friendly server at Hooters! Man, imagine how smart I'd be if Wikipedia was around when I was a mere pup?!

In general all truckers usually hang out on 27.185 AM (19). However I have found that groups in areas often break off onto other frequencies through my travels. In my area multiple package couriers hang out on another frequency to chat while they are doing their deliveries. You will also find that places like railroad yards and truck yards may use a different frequency in order to not hog the usual channel 19. All you can do is listen to the radio and learn what goes on in your area.
