I bought my first CB back in 1973 while traveling extensively on the US
roads. Channel 19, as I recall, was the first contact then upon making a
connection, shifted to some other channel. All truckers had them and it was
a piece of cake to get travel information while rolling on the tar, pedal to
the metal.

I will be on the road again between San Diego and San Bernardino, either
I-15 or I-215 and am wondering if it would be worth the money to get another
CB to learn traffic and road conditions in real-time? Or has everybody gone
cellular?

CB radio is alive and kicking. Channel 19 is still the unofficial
trucking channel, and that's where you will hear most info about road
conditions. Don't forget that channel 9 is for emergency traffic only.
Channel 6 is popular with people who run illegal amps and can get
pretty noisy, so don't expect anyone to hear you on that channel. The
higher channels (30 and up) are popular with sidebanders (SSB), and if
you are looking for intelligent conversation then get yourself an
SSB-capable CB radio. They are a little more expensive but still a lot
cheaper than a cell phone.
