Snow plow removal fleets provide an essential service that allows people to go about their daily lives even after the worst blizzards and snow storms.
Commuters, people running errands or visiting friends and family, businesses, and emergency services all depend on snow plow removal fleets to use the roads during and after snow storms.
However, managing and driving in a snow plow removal fleet comes with some unique challenges:
- Fleet management: Fleet managers and dispatchers have to keep track of multiple snow plow vehicles at any given time and ensure that they are all working together to remove snow using the most efficient routes.
- Safety: Although snow plow removal vehicles are designed to drive on icy and snow-covered roads, they’re not immune to accidents or getting stuck in the snow. Therefore, safety is a major concern.
- Communication: Communication is essential for all drivers and dispatchers. However, storms and long distances can disrupt signals and prevent drivers from communicating with one another and dispatchers. Plus, they need to be able to communicate on the road.
- Real-time adjustments: Changes in weather conditions can endanger drivers so dispatchers need to be able to reach out quickly to warn and reroute drivers.
How Push-to-Talk (PTT) Two-Way Radios Can Help Snow Plow Removal Fleets
Fleet management: PTT two-way radios allow dispatchers and managers to stay in constant contact with drivers. This allows them to know where drivers are at all times thanks to the reliable, easy communication of PTT two-way radios.
What’s more, some two-way radios come with GPS tracking that allows dispatchers to monitor their locations at all times.
Safety: If a driver gets into an accident, an engine dies, or they get stranded in a snow drift, their safety can be seriously affected. Without two-way radios, they may have no way to contact dispatch and emergency services.
Peak PTT two-way radios ensure drivers can get the help they need if they get into trouble. Plus, they include a panic button that sends out an immediate alert with their GPS location if it’s an emergency.
Communication: There are several barriers to communication for snow plow removal crews:
- Long distances
- Interference
- Background noise
- Device durability
Peak PTT two-way radios are designed to overcome all of these obstacles to ensure reliable communication. Peak PTT two-way radios have a virtually unlimited range with a 4G LTE signal to increase the clarity of messages and reduce interference. They have noise-canceling features to ensure loud noises don’t garble messages. Plus, they’re built to withstand varying levels of dust and moisture.
Real-time adjustments: Lastly, with push-to-talk two-way radios, dispatchers can update drivers on changes to road conditions to reroute them and keep them from danger. They can also help better coordinate drivers to reduce time on the road and get them home faster.
