The road can be a lonely place. Truck drivers spend countless hours crossing thousands of miles of pavement to reach their next stop. And each driver finds him or herself with plenty of alone time in between each destination.
However, that doesn’t mean they have to do it alone.
With the help of a smart phone and a car charger, truckers have the entire world at their fingertips. Find your favorite music, track your diet, keep contact with friends and a whole slew of other options are all available to use on the journey ahead.
