Volvo launches Worldtrucker in the UK
With online communities spreading like wildfire, truck drivers can now start joining the throng by signing up on Volvo’s Worldtrucker networking site when the UK will officially launch its own local area on Monday, September 13th.
With WiFi and 3G technology giving web access almost anywhere today, you’ve finally run out of excuses for spending evenings in the cab staring at re-runs of programmes on the television. With the UK launch of Worldtrucker, truckers will be able to communicate like never before and it will make the days of CB radio look like a pair of rusty baked bean tins and an old length of string.
And the new site isn’t just for Volvo drivers either, Worldtrucker is open to any driver of any truck, anywhere in the world and it will enable them to communicate, make friends and discuss hot topics in their home country or even worldwide.
As you assemble your profile you can create your own personal online garage of the trucks you have driven or the rig you run today and upload all the photos you want. Add the type of driving job you do, who you drive for and maybe join groups of drivers with the same skills here in the UK and abroad.
It will be the site with a local feel but with a worldwide reach, as truckers themselves will create the content and they will stay firmly behind the wheel as it develops.
It is hoped that the Worldtrucker forum pages will grow into a powerful library of information that really matters to truckers. After all, it will be truckers who are asking the questions! The possible topics are endless. Different trucks running in other countries, the law relating to trucks, pay and conditions, jobs and we all like browsing photos of trucks around the globe or the classic commercial vehicles of yesteryear.
You can find the new site at: worldtrucker.com
Just click on ‘Take The Tour’ and look through the ‘Quick Guide’ to see what the site holds or why not follow it on Twitter: @worldtruckeruk
Remember, the Worldtrucker networking site may be driven by Volvo, but the content belongs to the truckers themselves.
