 The Second Annual Truck Driver
Social Media Convention
"United We Stand, The Circle Of Trust"

With the awaited Second Annual Truck Driver Social Media Convention coming up in October, we are re-posting this article ....and I am honored to have been asked to return for this year's event as a Special Guest.

This past October I had the pleasure of addressing the attendees of the First Annual Truck Driver Social Media Convention, a one-day event held in Tunica, Mississippi at the Gold Strike Resort.  I also had the opportunity to finally meet two uniquely dedicated, committed and highly regarded individuals that I had only previously talked with via phone and e-mail over the previous 12 months .... Allen and Donna Smith, of Truth About Trucking LLC and AskTheTrucker.com, the forces behind this first of what many hoped would be an annual event.

Effectively Using Social Media ?

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.
