• If you are interested in becoming a truck driver,
  knowing how technology has improved the truck
  drivers 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

• 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.

• 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.

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.

• 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.
