Big Changes Coming To Trucking Truth Tomorrow!

I'm glad you guys like dark mode. I do, too. I'm thinking about making it the default for the entire website, but haven't decided yet.

The AI art is pretty neat as well. If you didn't say it was AI I wouldn't know. Think we could get a couple day cab pics from it? All the ones I've seen are nice sleepers.

Absolutely!

We're trying to create avatars you guys can use here in the forum, but it's tricky getting them to look like the person you're trying to imitate, but we think we'll get it pretty soon. I'm also gonna set up a gallery just for the AI art. It's really fantastic.

I agree with Dave about the local/LTL stuff but I don't think it needs to be in its own sub forum. There's a lot of differences in what a local/home daily driver deals with throughout their day. If you guys just create a diary (similar to what I've done for my 2 jobs) I think it'd help those interested immensely. I worry by separating LTL/local it would make the information harder for those considering a career to find it. Maybe just creating a tag would work. This is where having some type of job title (like bobcat suggested) may be beneficial even if its just local/home daily or OTR. Although I have no plans of going OTR I still enjoy reading about their adventures and seeing things through a different perspective.

I'm also a fan of the new art and dark mode.

Side note we need some of y'all OTR drivers to create a diary like packrat did a couple years ago!

Brett, the only thing I might suggest, and it’s no biggie, is to differentiate the word NEW before new comments so it doesn’t seem to be part of the comment.

I agree, a tag somewhere with the topic would make more sense. All topics would still be in the general forum but the tag on the main topic screen could separate the topic content.

Maybe a topic option to select when starting a new thread like general, OTR , Local/LTL could narrow it down a bit but still have everything in one place

I accidentally left my laptop at home when I was there last week. I really want to look at these new features on it. I'm enjoying the dark mode, but I'm thinking it's going to be more impressive on my laptop.

Thanks for everything you do Brett! I'm thrilled you have someone helping you too. Keep up the great work. Tedious tasks, duly accomplished, will produce good returns.

Dark Mode for sure is totally, like awesome, dude ! hahaha, I just HAD to go see what it looked like, and YUPPPPP, Liking it a LOT

I got to thinking about some of our company reviews. I'd be happy to volunteer info for Knight for updating purposes. Just that I have knowledge of it from presently working there, not tryingto promote. I would think others may have data from other companies, I know you moderators have your hands full and time is a fleeting commodity.

Is there any way we members could help with that?

Was going off a post that seemed very combative I saw earlier. (Which kinda bummed me out to see, glad to see it gone) But nonetheless, if there's any way to help lighten the load here, I'd be happy to help as I'm sure others would too. This community has given us so much. Thanks again.

Thanks, Davy!

The updates are being worked on now. We've put a ton of time (and money!) into building a new High Road, reworking the server, redesigning the website, and creating all new imagery. We've also built some new sections, like CDL Requirements. I'm also producing more videos. I need to get a bunch of videos on the website. Right now we're ready to dive in and update some of the content that's fallen behind.

Where you guys would be most valuable is producing teaching materials like articles, podcasts, or videos. In this conversation, we've discussed the idea of producing more teaching materials for local drivers. That's the stuff you guys could do that would be massive for us. I'd love to get our experienced drivers more involved in producing more content. In the past, we've done that, and it has been great. I think it's time to get that ball rolling again.

All of you guys have offered fantastic ideas, and I very much appreciate it!

I love the diary idea, also. People need to know what the day-to-day life is like for any type of job in order to decide what suits them best. Articles, videos, or diaries could all accomplish that.

OH........I know what I wanted to ask everyone - what do you guys and gals think about doing interviews with us? I've thought about this for some time. We could record zoom interviews and post them here on the site. I guess I could make that part of our podcast. But anyhow, would any of you be interested in doing an interview? Would any of you be interested in listening to interviews, even if you're not interested in doing one?

I definitely would listen to one and probably do an interview.
