Truck drivers who carry out international long-distance cargo transportation often join up in small groups and try to keep in touch on the way, using special car radios for this purpose.
Why do you need a car radio
In a variety of situations on the road, the driver feels more confident, feeling the reliable shoulder of his comrades, ready to help. It is not always possible to keep in touch using a mobile phone, but we are always ready to help out car radios for truckers.
When organizing cargo transportation in Russia, one should not forget about this important accessory and save on driver safety. It doesn't matter how far the car is from home and where it is heading - throughout Russia and in the CIS countries, all such devices use the 27 MHz range, which is known as channel No. 15 of grid C. It happened historically, therefore, when choosing a mobile radio station, you need to take into account these parameters. In this range, stationary radio stations of high power operate, spreading the signal over several kilometers, and portable radios equipped with 20 W transmitters.
This turns out to be quite enough to keep in touch with other truck drivers engaged in international cargo transportation in the range of 3-5 km on one route and turn to them for help if necessary or in case of unforeseen situations on the road.
What to look for when buying
If necessary, you can connect an amplifier to the device and increase the transmitter power up to 100 W. Most modern models use the FM mode, which operates at short wavelengths, but for communication, drivers prefer to use the amplitude modulation (AM) mode, so when choosing a walkie-talkie, you need to pay attention to the presence of this mode in it. In large transport companies, all vehicles are equipped with modern communication facilities and the GLONASS system for the safety of goods and control over the safety of drivers.
Even if the fleet of a transport company consists of several low-tonnage trucks and gazelles carrying out cargo transportation in Moscow and the region and regions, the presence of a car radio turns out to be absolutely necessary to communicate with the company's dispatcher and improve the quality of its work. In road freight transportation in the city, mobility and speed of delivery of goods are important, and the presence of a radio station allows you to quickly get in touch, take orders and clarify unclear points without spending the company's budget on the services of cellular operators.
