Would it be possible to go outside a warehouse/follow a delivery truck with an sdr and inject scans into a carriers system? If anyone has info about how these places operate your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Some info I found:

"Simultaneously, FedEx Ground is equipping all pickup-and-delivery vans with new in-vehicle computers that will constantly transmit delivery data captured by STAR II scanners to the company's central mainframe computer. Data will be uploaded after every delivery stop over the BellSouth Intelligent Wireless NetworkSM (NYSE:BLS), a nationwide packet-radio wide area network. In rural delivery areas, satellite communications will be used."


"I have a buddy who is a Fed-Ex (Air) driver and dated a girl that he worked with.... got to check out their radios. Around here the data and the analog voice channels are on the same freq. The cradle for the scanner is hooked to the radio, and sent in a packet type transmission. The craddle/radio unit also has a terminal screen and qwerty keyboard they can message back and fourth with. When there is data being rxed the unit will not transmit. The drivers I know don't use the radios to talk to each other usually. They will use the terminal or cell phone each other for business/personal voice coms.  But I have looked at the licensing for other areas and it looks like some areas may be different. Also, this is talking about the real Fed-EX which is called Air by them."
