Crap that's to bad. Much better/safer to be able to run straight to battery. Some companies are cool with it as long as the mechanics do the wire running from battery to inside of cab. I guess if there's a 1500 watt inverter installed in the truck, one could buy a power supply and plug it into the inverter to power the radio that way. But that seems like an overly complicated/priced solution. Not that big of a deal i suppose.
I finally decided to get the Technician class ham license a little over a month ago, and have really become interested in the world of radio. The mobile ham rig I'm looking at would definitely prefer a straight connection. If you like CB I would definitely encourage getting your license. Would be awesome if more drivers had their ham license. The reach and clarity on the ham transceivers are amazing. And our legal power limit is up'd considerably from the citizen band (should it be necessary to have).
How are things going for you?

Tyson is one of my top two potential employers, the other being Maverick's TCD division. I've been invited to orientation at both companies but am still debating which way to go. I want to go to work for a solid company that I could stay with for a long time. I like everything I've heard about Tyson with the only real negative being having to park in Springdale, AR during home time. With Maverick, the only real negative I've found is the extremely limited number of TCD trainers available which has resulted in a substantial wait list for orientation and training.
You're obviously happy at Tyson since you've stayed 8 years. I'd appreciate any thoughts you would share about your experiences with Tyson from your initial hire through orientation & training to your latest run. -
