If it is flat country, and you have a higher gain UHF antenna, then you will transmit further than them.
If your radio head unit has a gain button on it, turn it up. Mind you, I think that was more common on older 27meg CBs.
Apart from that - dunno :-) There are a couple of people on hear who know more about UHF than me (not difficult!) and they might be able to assist. I asked about how I would go with the new 80 ch, and they reckoned that microphone technique could be more important than the way the 80ch works in getting heard, for instance.
UHF is designed for line of sight only. If you get any further than that, it's a bonus. Ask your local retailer about the different types of aerials.
Another option is to put your aerial on top of your roof rack. Remember the trees and low undercover parking areas though.
The higher your aerial is, the more chance you have of talking to someone. Try sitting on top of a hill. You'll be amazed at the extra range you get.
