Where I work I see a LOT of trucks and deal with drivers everyday. I have seen many trucks with several different array of antennas. So far I haven't seen any other transceivers besides the CB in the cab. I've noticed some put their own CB antennas up on the mirrors and leave the antennas and mounts that came with the truck (when they got it).
Now I have seen TV antennas, at truck stops, that look like the other CB antennas in design and style but shorter. Heck I seen many trucks with several antennas with no coax attached to them and others with no transceivers what so ever.
I'll also point out that scanners and radar detectors are prohibited in such vehicles (federal regulation). However I'm sure a few have them both.

In Michigan, there's a linked repeater system that covers most of the state on 2m/1.25/70cm/33cm/22cm.
I've talked to a couple truckers on it.
W8HVG linked repeater system.
