Radios that keep working once drivers leave the yard
Ordinary radios stop at the gate. Ours keep going, because they work over the cell network. Dispatch stays in touch across every route you run.
Short answer
Do these still work once the truck leaves the yard?
Yes. It is the main reason operators move to us. The radios work anywhere there is cell service, so a driver three states away is on the same channel as the yard. Dispatch can see where every vehicle is, and get an alert when one arrives or leaves.
The problem
What gets in the way
A conventional radio system covers the yard and stops at the gate. The moment a driver pulls out, dispatch loses them and falls back to calling a mobile, which means either a driver picking up a phone at the wheel or ignoring it and calling back an hour later. Neither is what you want. The yard still needs its own coordination at the same time: loading, shunting, gate control and shift handover are all radio jobs rather than phone jobs. So most operators run two systems that do not talk to each other, and the office has no idea where anything is between the yard and the delivery point unless a driver volunteers it.
How we set it up
How the channels are set up
We put the whole operation on one system. A channel covers the fleet, with route or depot channels underneath so a driver on one lane is not listening to another depot all day. Dispatch talks to one driver, a route, or everyone, from a screen in the office. Because it runs over the cell network, the radio works the same at the loading bay and three states away. Every vehicle shows on a live map, and you can set alerts for arrival at and departure from a site, which takes the chasing calls out of the day. Photo messages handle proof of delivery and damage reports without a separate app. Drivers get a device with a real push-to-talk button, so it is used one-handed rather than picked up like a phone.
Typical use cases
Where it gets used day to day
Dispatch to driver communication on the road. Yard and loading bay coordination. Gate control and shunting. Arrival and departure alerts at customer sites. Proof of delivery and damage reporting by photo. Shift handover across depots. Reaching a whole route at once when a customer moves a slot.
Recommended solution
What we would recommend
The app on a tough phone is often the stronger fit here. Drivers get push-to-talk plus the other apps they already use for the job on one device.
Questions
Questions fleet operators ask us
What dispatchers and transport managers check before moving off a yard radio system.
Do these work once the truck leaves the yard?
Yes, and it is the main reason operators move to us. Coverage comes from the cell network, so a driver three states away is on the same channel as the yard. We check your routes against supported coverage before you order.
Is it safe for drivers to use at the wheel?
The devices are built for one-touch, hands-free operation with a dedicated push-to-talk button, which is the point of a radio rather than a phone. You remain responsible for complying with driving law in the states you operate in, and we supply vehicle mounts and hands-free accessories.
Can we see where every vehicle is?
Yes. Every device reports position to a live map, with location history and alerts when a vehicle arrives at or leaves a site. Accuracy depends on the device and the conditions.
Can the yard keep its own channel?
Yes. We normally run a fleet-wide channel with route or depot channels underneath, so yard traffic does not fill the road channel and the other way around.
Can drivers send photos?
Yes. Photo messaging is available for proof of delivery and damage reporting, so a driver does not need a separate app for it.
