Company policies on personal radios, GPS...

Lot of companies require you provide your own CB. Never heard anything about GPS usage being regulated.

 

Ask the company you're working for. They're all different.

 

most companies that I have spoken to. say bring your own CB use any gps but follow our directions and limit invertors. now the company I am with now has no limits on anything! they just want to install it themselves. its a good company

 

lots of companies require their shop to install the inverters and the cb power supply to make sure your not chopping up the factory wires.

 

Some of the larger companies will give limits on what types of radios you can use and ban amps/footwarmers. This was because idiots were using them in highly populated areas were the FCC likes to hang out and check for overly powered systems or converted 10 meter radios that were going out of the CB bands.

The main reason why companies want to install power sources etc in trucks is because of people hacking into the wiring causing a situation that might burn up a truck, yet their own tech/mech might just strip a few wires and tape the power cord to the wire anyway. Heaven forbid they get out a soldering iron and some heat shrink.

 

try not to worry to much till you see what truck you get. Every truck has a spot for a cb. Might be an after though strap on the dash *cough*volvopos*cough* Or have to screw into the bottem of the overhead leaving it loot like some getto rigged bs *couch*petercar*cough* or they might have a nice neat cubby hole for you like Freightliner and intercrashal do.
