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.
