Re: FSRs on a Weekday - Logging? (reg 3)
I also have a pair of Baofeng radios. You need a basic Amatuer radio license (Ham) to be legal with them, and technically the written permission of the company who’s channel you’re on, but I’d bet most guys would rather have someone call out the Km markers up/down than run over them with their loaded truck. Monitor the channel for a few minutes before heading up, and try to use proper radio protocol if you transmit.
I once had a Chevy crewcab coming downhill with no radio, and I was going uphill with a load that I could not stop or back up with. We met in a blind corner as she couldn’t hear me calling uphill markers. She tried to back up but I still caught her front fender on the side of the deck and opened the truck up about 3’ along the side. Nobody was hurt, and mid 80s Chevy fenders are about $100, so I didn’t stop. I know her boss and called and said “sorry you hire dumb people”. He was on my side in the whole deal and she bought the fender and always carried her radio after that...
