    Depends what u like. If u have Amazon Kindle subscription u could read a bunch of magazines for "free".

    I get 10-4 magazine delivered to the casa . To see all the nice west coast large cars. It's fairly cheap and lots of cool stuff in there if u like trucks

    Google "what is most popular commercial trucking magazine". Read the free websites of the magazines online and sample the content. Most of them are just paid to run press-releases by advertisers. Landline & Overdrive are the only ones I remember by name.

    Get a local library card, then a Libby App account & account with Hoopla app. Link your Libby account to your library card. Borrow books & magazines online from your library for free. Read on your phone, tablet or Kindle. There is a free Kindle app for iPhone & Android or buy a $100 Kindle basic. Hoopla app provides free access to books. Magazines, audio/visual content once linked to your library card. You access all of Hoopla content through Hoopla app on your phone or tablet.

    I'm not a nerd, you're a nerd. ;-)

    10/4 Magazine for sure. LargeCarMag is kinda pricy for what you get I think, but I enjoy reading it on occasion, every once in a while I find a truck I recognize in it. Found an old one my dad used to drive 25+ years ago a couple months back, thought that was pretty cool

    Don't Tell X1 he'll come back and write another 7000 novels.

    Also the kindle thing @D.Tibbitt mentioned is rather nice for magazines and books. Digital library.

    ;)

    Fleet Owner, if you want a heads up on the latest ways fleets intend to screw over their drivers.

    Modern Bulk Transporter, if you're into that kind of thing.

    Both will give you a free sub, you just have to pretend to be a trucking company executive.

    I used to put "Terminal Manager", and that was good enough.
