<p>Not many truckies have PRS here, it is used by some
over-dimensional stuff and some small local companies in lieu of
commercial RTs but on the whole truckies still tend to use channel
11 am for chatting and reporting.</p>

<div dir="auto">The truckies normally run 2-3 radios.</div>
<div dir="auto">AM CB 26Mhz normally on ch11.</div>
<div dir="auto">PRS UHF 476MHz </div>
<div dir="auto">Fleetlink 404-420Mhz or DMR or analogue depending
on the company.</div>

<div dir="auto">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. </div>
<div dir="auto">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. Etc</div>
<div dir="auto">900 for a group call which activates all radios in
the fleet.</div>
<div dir="auto">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.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">This is still very active but aging now. A lot
moving across to DMR tier 2 & 3.</div>

<div dir="auto">Don't know if that helps at all?</div>
