ABSTRACT:
A communication system for transmitting messages includes a mobile private communication system. The mobile private communication system has a mobile terminal disposed in each of a plurality of trucks, the mobile terminal having a transceiver, an electronic control unit in communication with the transceiver, and a display in communication with the electronic control unit for displaying the messages. A satellite transmits the messages to the mobile terminal, and a satellite dish transmits the messages to the satellite. A satellite hub converts the messages to a satellite transmittable form. An interface is provided, having a local management system for adjusting an account for each of the messages being transmitted to the mobile terminal, and further for ensuring that the account has a sufficient balance prior to transmitting messages to the mobile terminal. The interface also has a voice response unit for creating messages, and a telephone interface system for receiving operator input and selecting one of the messages in response to the operator input. A public communication system, including a public telephone system having telephones connected to a telephone network interface, transmits the operator input to the telephone system.
