Efficiency in Daily Operations
The Motorola TLK-100 walkie talkie offers excellent dispatching capabilities. With a walkie talkie, tow truck drivers can quickly and easily communicate with their dispatch center to let them know their status, report any problems they are encountering, or request assistance if needed. This helps to ensure that the dispatch center is always up-to-date on the status of each tow truck, which can help to reduce response times and improve overall efficiency. One of the most significant benefits of walkie talkies for tow truck drivers is the ability to communicate with other tow trucks in the area. This can be especially useful during an emergency situation, where quick and efficient communication is essential. With walkie talkies, tow truck drivers can quickly and easily coordinate their efforts with other drivers in the area, which can help to improve response times and reduce the risk of accidents.
Let’s get into the specifics of how the Motorola TLK-100 radio stands out compared to traditional cell phone use in daily operations.

That means whether the person you’re trying to reach is five miles away or five states away, you’ll be able to reach them with the push of a button.
Self-Service Talkgroups
Tired of cross-communication or having to make separate phone calls to different trucks on duty? Self-service talkgroups can be managed in real-time remotely. This allows users to communicate with separate groups of people without bothering other team members with conversations that are irrelevant to them or could distract from their job duties. When you message a talkgroup, every member receives the communication and can respond immediately.

Cross-Platform Communication

Wi-Fi Connectivity
We’ve all been in a building or area with no cell phone reception, which could understandably be problematic for a radio that runs off of cellular towers. However, when you find yourself in one of these locations, your Motorola TLK-100 two-way radio can connect to Wi-Fi networks, which will replace the need for a cellular connection.
No More Lost or Missing Radios
What’s more, the WAVE Dispatch feature on the TLK-100 ensures that your devices can never go missing. Every radio will be fully tracked by a GPS system
Handheld or Mounted?

Handheld walkie talkies are ideal for drivers who need to move around a lot, as they are small and lightweight and can be easily carried in a pocket or on a belt clip. Mounted walkie talkies, like the Motorola TLK-150, are perfect for drivers who spend a lot of time in their vehicles, as they can be mounted on the dashboard or other location for easy access.
Whether they are handheld or mounted, walkie talkies provide a quick and easy way for tow truck drivers to communicate with their dispatch center and other drivers in the area, which can help to reduce response times and improve overall efficiency. Whether you are a tow truck driver or a manager in charge of a fleet, it is clear that walkie talkies are an essential tool that should be a part of every tow truck driver's kit.
What Costs Are Involved?
Because the radios run on 4G LTE coverage, there is an additional fee of $35 per month per radio*. We specifically program these radios to work with cell phone towers.
If you want to start using this game-changing device, we’ve got a great deal for you: If you sign up for a two-year agreement with Tech Wholesale for the use of these radios, we’ll reimburse you for the entire cost of the device.
Costs can be offset thanks to the digital nature of these devices. Because the TLK-100 runs on a digital network, you won’t have to worry about paying any licensing fees to the FCC. Most UHF and VHF radios require an additional licensing fee because you’re using airwaves owned by the federal government. However, when using a digital band, Uncle Sam won’t be claiming any of your money.
