[QUOTE="brett636, post: 785120, member: 249"] Radios wired into the truck in feeders are not illegal as the connections are built into every truck for this exact purpose. Having a radio makes the day go by smoother. Sounds like something was wired wrong causing a short and then the fire. There were pics of the truck in our dispatch office here in Indy, and a lot of guys were wondering if this means the company was going to crack down on how radios are setup in the trucks. Going back to the original post, when I was air driving I brought a long a little radio shack radio that I purchased for $30 or so. I just powered it on the 4 C batteries it required and would replace them every 4-5 weeks. It wasn't very loud, but it was loud enough to hear it over the package car. I do recall a PCM stating that we could not wire radios directly into the package cars due to fires in other buildings, and for me atleast I was in a different PC everyday so wiring one in would have been pointless. My suggestion is to just go with rechargeable batteries and a radio that you can hear. [/QUOTE]
