Default Grounding truck to ground

Hi , i have no wireless truck experience so i have a stupid question : How do you ground the truck to ground ? Is it as simple as connecting a wire to a frame bolt to a wire and connecting it to a metal spike in the ground ? Manuals speak of grounding the truck to improve reception / transmission over the wireless set , that’s why i am asking .Why does it help ? I have operated on the same frequency ranges in airplanes and we ain’t grounded to earth and it works fine . I must add we have static «*wicks*» on the trailing edges to dissipate static that accumulates on the airframe in precipitation. Just asking .
