Facebook and Trucking
By definition and according
to Merriam-Webster, Social
media are forms of
electronic communication (as Web sites for social networking and microblogging)
through which users create online communities to share information, ideas,
personal messages, and other content (as videos). Going a few steps further
according to Whatis.com, Facebook is...
· · Free social
networking site
· 37 different
Languages
· Share Ideas,
photos, personal identity
· Events
· Information
and buying options of current technology
· Promotes brands and
businesses
So why care? If you consider yourself a professional Truck
Driver and take pride in your career field. Facebook is a perfect outlet for
truckers. Facebook offers OTR driver something that wasn’t available until
recently. The ability to communicate while in the back of sleeper cab and
parked in the middle of nowhere. With over half of drivers owning smart phones,
the tools are there. The next time you login into Facebook search words like
trucking, trucking humor, trucking accessories and the possibilities are
endless. You can start a page promoting your business, idea, or social change.
Don’t have a Facebook, sign up here.
Lastly there is the argument that you are too old for technology or it’s just for the younger generation. The tech giant Apple’s CEO Tim Cook is 55 years old and baby boomer. Meaning it’s all about perspective and age is just a number if you allow it.
Look for our next posting “Blue Bird’s help Truckers” in our

drivers and readers.
