Dedicated transportation services

"I didn't mean to be the center of a big debate. I understand listening to public entities and believe their information should be public. I feel, for the private side, people should have to ask."

Unless one uses encryption, when one transmits in-the-clear on an analogue radio system, using modulation formats in bands that probably >95% of scanners produced within the past 20 years can tune (as likely nearly all of these despatch-for-hire services do), NOTHING but NOTHING on the public airwaves is "private". Period. That includes most business/part-90 communications. Common sense dictates that if it goes out unencrypted over the ether using normal modulation types, it's completely unreasonable and impractical to expect any security from outside people listening. Why do you think early analogue cordless telephones and AMPS were plagued with the eavesdropping and other problems they had?

By the way, "privately owned" as in a business, which I assume you actually mean, is an entirely unrelated concept to "none-of-anybody's-business" private.

I'm not here to debate part 90 or encryption. You have the number to the gate if you are who you say. If you don't wanna call feel free to tell me and I can send you my email here.

Seems this could be settled with ONE phone call, from either party involved without all the bickering and without all the sideband noise, too.

Businesses, especially tow and taxi companies understandably are territory conscious as their business can be scooped (not in this case-its a contract) by other competitors. The owners use whatever means they can to obfuscate who they are and where they are going most of the time.

Good luck to the OP.
