Seems he's handling that without help. He'd be in twice the trouble with an assistant...you need help

I had a communications system called Highway Master back in 93-94 that used a handset like that to send messages back and forth to dispatch, as well as have in-cab phone service, though I had to pay for any calls I made. It had a microphone to voice-type messages while driving.That ^^ . . . nor did I keep records or lists of them. Too boring, and no one cares.
Although a few of my favorites were the first ones—even though they were the attached Motorola 'car phones'—probably because of the newness, and ehem, status of having a cellular phone in your vehicle.
First Motorola installed in 1989, and 2nd Motorola upgraded in 1991; both were top-of-the-line Motorola's, the nicest you could get—with the screen on the back (like pics below) and full speaker-phone features—both paid for by the construction company I was working for. I forget the Motorola model #s, and I'm not finding the exact or correct pictures on the net, which seems a bit odd.
Anyhoo, they were similar to these, but nicer, and unlike the one on the right—sitting on a power brick—mine both attached to a very small holder on the driveline hump, under the center dash of my pickup, with the power amp mounted behind the back seat:

. . . and as I recall, most of my monthly cell phone bills were in the $500 to $1000+ range !
While somehow never even coming close to getting in an accident.
Zach Morris would approve.I had these back in the day. Can you imagine carrying that brick of a handheld phone?
