Both of us are HAM radio operators. Have one in the truck & also a handheld but we use the FRS handhelds. They stay in the truck console & get used in the big box stores so we don't lose each other, around the CG when one goes for walk &, the primary use, directions for parking.
There is no reason for the driver to talk back. She talks. I listen & do what I am told. Getting out to have a look because of some doubt of what she is directing to do is extremely rare.
I like to think that we are very boring to watch when it comes to backins & it is all because of the radios.
Visual signals are important too. For final position she stands right where she wants a corner of the trailer to be. All that needs to be done is backup to her.
