Corrected entry: If the bomb was in a lead lined truck, therefore blocking the radiation from being detected, then the remote detonator would have been useless, as its radio signal would have been blocked by the lead.

Correction: It is possible that the trailer had a radio repeater installed to allow a detonation signal reach the bomb it was built to carry, much like repeaters in tunnels let you continue listening to radio stations despite all the rock or water between you and the station's antenna.
