slide 1: 3 Ways Mobile Technology Has Changed Truck Driving
slide 2: If you are interested in becoming a truck driver knowing how technology
has improved the truck driver’s experience is something you should make
note of. Mobile technology is a huge part of the world we live in today. Being a
truck driver in the twentieth century like most things is a lot different
than it used to be before technology began playing such a necessary role in
slide 3: our lives. There are three specific ways technology has improved the truck
driving experience: Navigation: Although getting lost is always a probability as a truck
driver it is more of a rarity than it used to be. Thanks to GPS technology
truck drivers now have access to satellite navigation. Providing everything
from alerts on upcoming road construction and detours to alternate traffic
routes weather conditions calculated ETA and miles driven.
slide 4: Entertainment: The convenience of easily portable laptops iPads and
smartphones allow for an easily accessible entertainment outlet for truck
drivers. Everything from Netflix to Podcasts audio books and online
gaming is now available at your fingertips. Long nights on the road are
inevitable when truck driving but mobile technology has made it much
more bearable.
slide 5: Communication: Technology has come a long way from the CB radio
that used to be the only form of communication for truck drivers which
was pretty antiquated and limited. Truck driving will always boil down to
a trucker and his truck but mobile technology has allowed being on the
road to be a lot less lonely. No other technology has benefited truck
driving more than the simple accessibility of being able to communicate
with their friends and family.
slide 6: Although mobile and portable technology provides many assets to the
world of truck driving it also comes with its responsibilities. Although
navigation entertainment and communication are now more accessible it
does not counteract the fact that truck drivers should always deter from
operating any devices other than their vehicle while on the road.
