Snowplow operations depend on fast, reliable communication between drivers and dispatchers. When winter storms hit, every second counts. Priority PTT push-to-talk radios give snow removal teams dependable communication, GPS visibility, and in-vehicle connectivity designed for harsh conditions.
What Are Push-to-Talk Radios?
Push-to-talk radios are professional-grade communication devices that let your team talk instantly with a single button. Unlike CB or two-way radios with limited range, our system uses LTE and Wi-Fi to deliver clear voice communication across city limits or rural routes, no repeaters or FCC licensing needed.
For snowplow companies, that means instant updates during snow events, route changes, or emergencies without the delay of phone calls or apps.
One-touch talk. No ringing. No waiting.
How Priority PTT Push-to-Talk Radios Work for Snow Operations
Our radios automatically connect to the strongest available carrier, AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile, and can switch to Wi-Fi when available. That gives your fleet full coverage even when cell service fluctuates in rural or mountainous areas.
Key features for snowplow fleets:
- Preconfigured group channels for dispatch, drivers, and maintenance teams
- One-to-one private communication when needed
- One-touch emergency alert with GPS location
- Optional GPS tracking (available through a separate subscription) for route and vehicle visibility
- Rugged handheld and TM7-PLUS in-car radios built for heavy-duty use
The TM7-PLUS in-car radio mounts directly inside the cab. Drivers can communicate hands-free and clearly ideal when operating heavy equipment or responding to plow requests in traffic.

Fleet Maintenance: Mechanics and supervisors stay connected with plow operators for quick troubleshooting and vehicle updates, all in real time.
