If you were to state the elevation before the letters (Low, Mid, and High), then any letter after that would seem nonsensical enough in accompaniment with the elevation that it wouldn't be as easily confused. (LowC, LowB, and LowA sound less like words than CLow, Blow, and ALow, since they start with consonants).
It also would stay in the family of being easily recognizable to the drivers without needing to practice interpreting more complex grid coordinates.
