Trucker Mellow Yellow Fails In Grapevine CB Test
A Los Angeles Times report traces the rise of citizen band radio as CBing gains national traction. Trucker Mellow Yellow speeds 85 mph on I-5 through Grapevine, is ticketed thrice by CHP, and sparks broader discussion of CB culture, law, and camaraderie between truckers and police. The piece notes the growth of CB use, FCC licensing, base stations, emergencies, and the rowdy, chaotic side of the hobby across California and beyond.
