This site is devoted to helping new drivers getting into the industry. A majority of the members driver employer owned trucks. The trucks are equipped to specifications demanded by the companies for safety and efficiency. Like the truck I drive, a 2023 Freightliner Crapcadia. I have a stock radio that is AM/FM/XM+Bluetooth. It is linked to the trucks safety systems that mutes the radio when in reverse. And if the side radar detects objects, it mutes the radio and gives an auditable alert. The same thing happens if the Lane Keep Assist activates.
Fm:
Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
Exactly. Very few on this page are true owner operators, and can't make the changes you are wanting to sell. Sorry man.

Thank you truckers for what you do. My handle was Colorado Kid back in the day. My business partner and I started a company based on science and sound. We design and build systems for cars and trains and I was looking at trucks as a possible category to design systems for. I noticed that APTIV was a big brand in regular radios and they have XM, FM , and AM in most. Pana Pacific website sells just a few speakers in sizes 3.5", 5" and 6.5" as does STS.
Do new trucks come with good stereo systems? Do drivers prefer excellent quality sound or not really? Is APTIV the most popular brand? (we see they come as pre-installed via PACCAR manufacturing). If you put in an aftermarket unit, what price is average?
Do you want CAR PLAY, or ANDROID AUTO built in?
I would love to get your feedback.
Kevin
