Two-Way Radios and Walkie Talkies.

Today, it's so easy for haulage companies to contact their drivers when they're out on the road [url=http://www.airjordanwholesale.us/]http://www.airjordanwholesale.us/[/url] , however, it hasn't always been so simple. In the days before mobile phones, people relied on two-way radios and walkie talkies to make contact, and to find out where to go next to pick up their next load. However [url=http://www.airjordanwholesale.us/]wholesale jordan shoes cheap[/url] , this radio contact would only work within a certain radius, meaning that it was only effective if haulage work took place at a distance of about twenty miles or less from the base. So, what happened if the driving took you further afield and outside of radio communication?

Phone Cards

Haulage companies relied as much in days gone by as they do now, on filling lorries with backloads [url=http://www.airjordanwholesale.us/]wholesale jordan shoes for sale[/url] , and pointing drivers in the direction they are to go in next. However, once out of radio range, this became rather difficult. To combat this problem, drivers would be sent on their way with a pre-paid or freephone phone card. Provided they could find a working phone box on the side of the road [url=http://www.airjordanwholesale.us/]jordan shoes wholesale free shipping[/url] , this phone card would allow them to make contact with the base to find out whether there were any backloads in the area. The card would also eliminate the necessity to have pockets bulging with loose change for use in phone boxes. However, unfortunately the cards were linked to the phone number of the base only, so a quick natter with the wife was never an option.

Pagers

As time went on and technology developed, the invention of pagers certainly began to make life a little easier for haulage companies. Rather than scouring the towns and countryside for a working phone box each time they made a delivery [url=http://www.airjordanwholesale.us/]jordan shoes wholesale china[/url] , drivers could assume that if they did not receive a page, they were free to return to the base. Unfortunately however, if a driver did receive a page, they still had to find a phone box in order to call back and find out where they were to go next. Pagers cut out a lot of the legwork for drivers whilst they were on the road [url=http://www.airjordanwholesale.us/]cheap jordan shoes free shipping[/url] , however they did not rule out use of the traditional phone box entirely.
