Why Should Truckers use Social Media?

             Like it or not social media and digital age have reshaped how people, businesses and consumers communicate. Whether you use it in your daily life most likely depends on your age, regardless it’s not going away. When looking at transportation as a whole. Trucking is one of the few industries struggling to understand usage and the power of social media.

Sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn can be located on websites, printed advertisement and much more. So why should you care? Social Media is one of the many tools we have available to better research, understand and inform of what's happening around us. According Overdrive’s  May 2016 article, ‘A truckers Guide to Social Media', recorded over half of truck drivers have smartphones and at least 30% have tablets. So why isn’t Social Media popular?

In terms of what each social media platform, how it’s used and how it can benefit drivers may be unclear.
