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 trucksSirscrapntruckalot, wore out, SmallPackage and 1 other person Thank this. -
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.

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

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.
