Hi Bob The truckies normally run 2-3 radios.AM CB 26Mhz normally on ch11.PRS UHF 476MHz  Fleetlink 404-420Mhz or DMR or analogue depending on the company.A fleet link channel is normally $30-$50 per month (discount based on more sets) but he will have no one to talk to. As you need to be on a fleet to talk to the rest of them. That said you can talk across fleet if you know the set numbers. Most truckies don't know their full number. They just dail the truck they want eg 204 truck 4, 200 base, 201 loader. Etc900 for a group call which activates all radios in the fleet.There are mobile numbers for most fleet linked radios you can call them from a mobile phone. A lot of companies block out going fleet to PSTN calls as these cost a fortune might have changed in the last decade but I doubt it.This is still very active but aging now. A lot moving across to DMR tier 2 & 3.Don't know if that helps at all?CheersMikeSent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
