Towing companies and tow yards run 24/7 operations where fast communication can make or break response times. From dispatching roadside calls to coordinating storage lots, teams need instant, reliable voice communication. Priority PTT push-to-talk radios deliver coverage, safety, and durability that cellphones and traditional radios can’t provide.
What Are Push-to-Talk Radios?
Push-to-talk radios are devices that let drivers and staff connect instantly with the push of a button. Unlike two-way radios with limited range, Priority PTT radios use LTE and Wi-Fi for nationwide coverage without repeaters or FCC licensing.
For tow operators, this means:
- No dropped calls in rural areas
- Instant group or one-to-one communication
- Clear, secure audio in high-noise environments
One-touch talk. No ringing. No delays.
How Priority PTT Push-to-Talk Radios Work for Towing Operations
Our system connects automatically to the strongest available carrier, AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile and, optionally, switches to Wi-Fi when available. This gives tow fleets and yard staff reliable coverage on the road and at the lot.
Key features for towing companies:
- Unlimited group channels for dispatch, drivers, and yard staff
- One-to-one private communication for sensitive calls
- Emergency alert button with GPS location (Requires separate subscription)
- Real-time GPS tracking for drivers and trucks (Requires separate subscription)
- Rugged handheld models for yard use
- TM7-PLUS in-car radios for tow trucks
The TM7-PLUS is designed for vehicle use, mounting securely inside the cab. Drivers stay connected without fumbling with phones, which helps comply with most hands-free driving requirements and overall safety.
