2-Way Radios Help Truck Drivers Stay In Touch


Truck stop and tire repair shop operators are constantly on the road and need to keep in touch with one another. Dave Wiedmaier, owner of a heavy truck and tire service located in St. Joseph, MO, decided to purchase Motorola''s Series CDM professional radios to improve the quality of his 2-way communications.

"The Motorola Series CDM is a better built radio for my business," says Wiedmaier. "[W]e''ve dropped and ran over them, and yet Motorola radios continue to work. [They also] allow my drivers to communicate in outlying areas."

At the touch of a button, the Series CDM lets managers stay in contact with one, 10, 100, or more people over long distances, without expensive per-minute charges. According to Wiedmaier, the radios helped his business save $300-$400 a month, when compared to the cost of using a cell phone.

Available in several models, Series CDM has talk-group capability that permits communications with designated groups of workers and discreet emergency signaling. Other features include caller identification, paging, and text-message exchange. Motorola Las Vegas, NV (888) 567-7347
