The CB is more for club runs; however, it does come in handy on the interstate. Trucker can/will alert you of speed traps long before a fuz finder will. Plus from time to time you will hear some really funny stories they share back and forth. As for mounting, I have a small radio shack brand radio, along with a piece of industrial strengh velco (mounted on the non speaker side) wedged between my console and left side bolster of the passenger seat, and a small external speaker mounted behing my seat.
