Caltreaux Transport's New Rig

A look back at a full communications fit-out for Caltreaux Transport, VHF radios, CB, handsfree kit, and stereo, installed by the MSL team.

Monty from Caltreaux Transport recently put his new rig on the road, and Mobile Systems (trading at the time as Tait Mobile Radio BOP) handled the full communications fit-out.

What we installed

Tait TM8254 VHF radio — driven from the handset for a genuinely unobtrusive install in the cab.
Tait TM8255 VHF radio — a 4-line LCD display giving Monty clear channel visibility and easy operation on the road.
Texas Ranger CB radio — keeping Monty in touch with fellow truckies out on the highway.
Bury System 8 handsfree kit — handsfree calling and charging, with a real boost to cellphone reception in the remote areas Monty regularly travels through.
4 x 50W Fusion stereo system — Bluetooth and handsfree connectivity for long hauls.

A rig like this depends on getting the install right, correct antenna placement, clean wiring, and gear genuinely matched to the truck and the routes it covers. That's the same approach we bring to every commercial vehicle fit-out today.
