Truckin Magazines
With the cost of diesel on the rise, it seems like everybody's talking about the transportation industry. Private companies discuss whether or not to charge flat fees for shipping items, and the government is imposing a variety of regulations and restrictions meant to ease the burden of the cost of oil.
Regardless of its subject, truckers need to know the news that is relevant to their industry. To bring the news to the truckers, many publications have been launched, some with corresponding web sites. While most of these publications are great ways for truckers to find out important information about their profession, some are better than others. For instance, Fleet Owner magazine is an excellent publication that contains all of the information that truckers need to know on a daily basis. From new products to public policy concerns, Fleet Owner covers every aspect of the trucking industry.
Both online and in print, articles about new products and innovations allow truckers to learn about the industry's most technologically advanced products and services. With a special section for management, the publication also lists articles for fleet managers, as well as those about new equipment and general trucking news. In the past, some of the subjects explored included biodiesel and private trucking company strategies. In addition to Fleet Owner, truck stops, magazine stands, and the Internet feature many other publications who want to know the latest news about their industry. Overdrive magazine is another publication for truckers who need to know the most recent developments in the transportation world. Since 1961, the publication has been catering to those who live their lives on the road.
In addition to news topics, this magazine offers articles for the trucker's lifestyle. For example, the most recent issue discusses health care costs, an important issue for many truckers who struggle with little or no health insurance. In addition to print form, this magazine is also available online for those truckers who like to power up their computers during down time or those who would rather not pay for a subscription.
Truckers' News is another publication that offers transportation professionals both lifestyle articles and important industry news. This magazine has been around for quite some time as well, since the 70s and also offers a digital version of each issue.
The current issue contains a refreshing mix of articles, from trucker's interest, an article on how to break in an engine, to lifestyle articles about making money as a trucker, to news and industry briefs. While many magazines for truckers exist, these are some of the best that offer enough variety to keep truckers interested issue after issue.
Whether you prefer to check out a copy from a local newsstand or to link to the news online, truckers can stay informed relatively easily through these magazines.
