Does The Trucking Industry Lags Behind in
Effectively Using Social Media ?

Discusses Trucking Social Media

on Truth About Trucking 'LIVE' Blog Radio

In this exciting, innovative and progressive age of technology, social media has become a primary source of interactive dialogue for both business and personal strategies.  The ability to connect and communicate around the globe within seconds is nothing short of  'awesome'.

But one industry that is still lagging behind in effectively using social media is, you guessed it....the trucking industry.  Although the number of users and followers are staggering, only 44% of trucking companies report that they are using any form of social media with their business strategies.  That means that less than half of the reported 100,000 (all shapes and sizes) trucking companies are using Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube and/or others.
