Profile For Cameron W.

Another couple of questions, and a heads up in case someone doesn't know.

The heads up is that this paper and all these questions are for my Consumer Behavior class so part of my paper will be on new ideas or new spins on old ideas on how to market to my chosen subculture.

My main question is what social media sites, if any, do you use? And which one(s) do you use most. I'm still trying to get through all of the other research, but between work and school it's taking longer than I thought it would. Excuses I know, but that's why I haven't had any in depth questions for you.

That information helps a lot. I haven't had much time to watch any of the movies you all recommended or read any of the books, but I'm hoping to be able to this weekend.

So, I have a couple more questions.

Are there any "Don't do that" type things? Not in the sense of rules, but in the sense that it's just unacceptable in the trucking culture. I'm not sure if I'm making sense... Please let me know if I'm not.

Within the overall trucking "circle", are there any smaller trucking "circles"? Like logging, vs....well anything. I'm really sorry if that's a repeat question. I feel like it's different from previous similar questions, but if it's not I apologize.

That should be it for about a week or so.

Thanks again!

Thanks so much for the answers. It'll help a lot when I start doing more reading research than asking questions.

But there will be more questions as well. One that might be helpful (and maybe more fun than trawling the internet), are there any trucking movies? I honestly don't quite know how to explain.... but kind of like "Any which way you can" ( if memory serves, it's been a while) was kind of about some form of fighting? Boxing? I don't remember but that's the best I have off the top of my head.

Some of the first questions I need answers to include:

What are some "norms" that are typically followed by truckers? Do these norms vary based on the type of trucking being done? Such as flatbed or hazmat(?) What is some lingo that is typically known primarily to truckers? Are there things that mark someone as a trucker? If there are, do these things make it easy for a fellow trucker to pick them out of crowd?

If you think it will work better to reply to people willing to help individually, please let me know how to, or let me know if you think I would be better off posting this as a new thread. I've never spent a lot of time on forums so I'm not entirely sure.

Thank you again!

Haha that is perfect. I need and want the honest answers. Thanks for the heads up! :)

Awesome, thanks for the starting points!

Hi all,

My name's Cameron and I'm working on a school project that involves micro/subcultures. I chose trucker's as that because I grew up riding along with dad on Saturdays. I'll be asking several types of questions. Before I ask any though, I want to see how many of you are willing to help me out, and if there is any information that you can think of that could help me out before I start asking questions.

Thank you
