CB Radio app feature enhances safety and camaraderie for professional truckers

PHOENIX, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Trucker Path, providers of the most comprehensive and relied upon mobile app for North American truckers, today announced a new free CB Radio feature that promotes safety through expanded driver communications and further fosters a sense of community for Trucker Path users.

Unique to this modern-era CB radio is the Private Friend Network which allows drivers to create their own personal network for easy, direct communication with selected users.

Once a Trucker Path app user is signed-in and they have selected their handle, the CB Radio feature is accessed with the tap of a CB-fashioned button on the main navigation screen. Broadcasts are automatically received through the app and drivers can send audio CB-style messages with other users with a simple tap.

Additionally, the CB is an always-on feature (with the option to turn it off, of course), which means users are always able to hear the chatter as long as their Trucker Path app is open. Responding is as simple as a quick touch to talk and send messages to the users' public or private channels.

"Although it didn't actually originate with the CB radio, '10-4' has certainly been part of the language of trucking for over 50 years, and more than half of all trucks on the road today still have CB radios," said Chris Oliver, CMO at Trucker Path. "With the new CB Radio feature in the Trucker Path app, drivers have access to that classic, open communication tool with the added twists modern technology offers."

"From person-to-person chats to the Private Friend Network to open public channels, our latest feature gives users another way to stay connected with whomever they want while they are on the road," Oliver added. "What's more is that this expanded communication capability further empowers Trucker Path's users to feed our collective Driver Intelligence Network that helps improve safety and camaraderie throughout our community of users."

The new CB Radio capability in the Trucker Path app supports:

• Safety through communication about upcoming traffic delays and difficult road conditions
• Public broadcasts about topics of interest to drivers
• Private Friend Network to communicate directly with other selected drivers
• Strengthening of the Driver Intelligence Network by increasing real-time information sharing among drivers
• Geographically-oriented groups based on proximity to truck stops, rest areas, parking facilities, and other points of interest (coming soon).

The number of drivers using the Trucker Path app CB Radio feature has grown steadily since it moved to full release, and nearly 900,000 messages have been exchanged to date. In September alone, the CB Radio feature was used by over 60,000 individual drivers, with active users averaging more than one hour of activity per month.
