NOTABLE ACCOUNTS • See images of truck and truck- ing events via @overdrivetrucking and @truckers_news. • @antiquetrucks shares sub- mitted pictures of antique trucks, including pickups and big rigs. • Find images of great-looking trucks while they're working or rest- ing at @_truckfans. Pinterest Pinterest is visually driven, allowing users to "pin" or post content – often an image found online – to a virtual bul- letin board. These collections of pins are personally tailored. You might create a "Great Trucks" board for images and video of custom trucks, or a "Recipes" board for collecting slow cooker and lunchbox recipes for use on the road. NOTABLE ACCOUNTS • Truckers News has boards divided by truck retailer and subject. It's on Pinterest as Truckers News under "Pinners." • Search terms such as "truck- ing," "big rig" or "truck driver" to see trucking content. • Some fleets have their own accounts where they pin content for their drivers. Check to see if your company or a company you may be interested in has a Pinterest account by searching for their name under the "Pinners" tab. Tumblr Tumblr combines the best of social media on a blog- type platform. Users share links, videos, gifs, music, memes, photos and text. For users able to work with some coding, users can per- sonalize their Tumblr blog. NOTABLE ACCOUNTS • Truckers Journey (truckersjourney. tumblr.com) shares images from the road, as well as inspirational quotes and trucking news. • One Girl Trucking (onegirltrucking. tumblr.com) is an owner-operator who blogs about being a woman on the road, plus some snapshots of life on her fam- ily's farm. • Semitrckn (semitruckn.tumblr.com) shares images of sharp-looking trucks and heavy equipment.
