My experience is that CBs are still the best way to go. Mobile phones might sound like a good idea but there is so much country where there is no coverage that they are useless too much of the time. In addition, we are not allowed to even touch a phone while driving so they are a no-no.
Distances are very often large enough that a hand held radio is of little use, Even a hard wired radio with proper antenna is of limited value for the same reason.
