    I have a family full of truckers, and I oversee the business. I have a lot of knowledge on the business side of trucking, and I just created an Instagram page just to share good info. I see a lot of informational business pages, but have yet to see one for the trucking industry. It would include info on savvy ways to systemize a trucking business, scaling, tracking expenses, news, and a lot more good information. Is this something that you guys as owner ops would want or need?

    No. Social media is garbage.

    ^^^^^agree^^^^^^^

    Besides, the info you mention is available on other websites that have been around for quite a while, and would be perceived as more "trustworthy" than a new start up site.

    No need to re-invent the wheel, IMO.

    But, hey, I'm just a dumb-### truck driver. Wudduwino?

    You do you.....

    Instascam can get bent. In fact, they can take Fecebook and Twatter along with them. TTR or the endless industry websites are the best places for us.

    Like there’s not a zillion YouTube videos that show how to get started ?

    you think you’re going to be able to monetize the exact
    Same information on Insta whatever ?

    don’t get me wrong , I think it’s great when people with experience are willing to share that knowledge

    most truckers won’t dare tell
    How they found that good contract or where their good loads come from

    If only there were a forum of like-minded drivers and industry professionals. Something that could report on the latest and greatest. They could call it The Trucker's Report. But hey, I don't know nuffin.

    Forums have been around since the internet started pretty much. I don’t classify TTR as your stereotypical social media. IMO.
