Towing radio system planning
Keep Dispatch, Trucks, and the Yard Connected.
An operator beside a vehicle, a driver in the cab, and a dispatcher at a desk need different equipment. Plan the communication path from the call to the recovery yard, including service coverage and how each person accesses push-to-talk.
- Review service routes and yard coverage
- Match handheld, vehicle, and dispatch roles
- Confirm mounts, power, and audio accessories

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose radios for towing teams?
Start with tow operators, yard staff, dispatchers, and fleet supervisors. Use the segments above to explore the existing lineup, then compare the coverage, accessories, and operating setup for each role. Confirm compatibility with any radios you already own before adding equipment.
How should we plan coverage?
An operator beside a vehicle, a driver in the cab, and a dispatcher at a desk need different equipment. Plan the communication path from the call to the recovery yard, including service coverage and how each person accesses push-to-talk.
Do tow operators need both a mobile and a handheld radio?
Some roles benefit from a fixed cab radio and a handheld for work outside the truck, but the right setup depends on the job and communication system. Review how the operator will stay in contact during the whole assignment.
Can different radio models work together?
Compatibility depends on the frequency band, operating mode, programming, and radio system. Local business radios and network-based WAVE PTX devices do not automatically communicate with one another. Share your current model numbers so we can review the connection before you purchase.
What information should I include in a quote request?
Include the number of simultaneous users, their roles, your work areas, shift lengths, existing radio models, and any coverage problems. For towing teams, also note the operating conditions and accessories each role needs.
