I am an air driver, and for the last several months I have brought with me a small radio I bought at radio shack. Yesterday my supervisor came and told me that I can no longer take a radio with me on route. I told her that it was my understanding that radios were allowed in package cars per the national master agreement. I searched through the prior contract and found the language under Article 18 Section 8, but I thought it would be best to find it in the new contract just to have something recent to reference to. The only place I know of to download the new contract is makeupsdeliver.org and it is just the tentative agreement. In that version is appears sections 7 through 13 seem to be missing under article 18. Does anybody have a more recent version of the new contract, or can tell me where I can find the language about radios being allowed in the package cars? Thanks!
Try this. Open the battery compartment and see if there is a fuse holder on top of the batteries. If there is, check to see if there is a fuse in it. My p700 has the posts under the dash, but when I checked to see if it had power, it did not. I spent my 10 minute break one day searching for the reason and finally found the empty fuse holder at the battery. Put a 10a fuse in it the next day and have had power ever since. Good luckMost drivers in my center with radios have the alligator clips connected to the battery. They wrap rubber heater hose and electrical tape around the cord to protect it from the elements and cushion it from the impact it receives from being sandwiched underneath the steps.
I am currently trying to explore my best options for a radio and connection setup. My P12 has two cigarette lighter outlets but they are not hot and receive no power through them.
