Episode Synopsis

When Freightwaves first launched 'Back the Truck Up' the main goal was to bring a central place of news and social media content directly onto one site. Powered by truckers and industry vets, Justin Martin was one of the first trucker→creators who jumped at the chance to stay home instead of being on the road for weeks, sometimes months, at a time. Justin joins the show to talk about his transition from trucker to creator, the dynamics of taking care of your drivers, and what companies can do to appreciate their drivers year-round for Truck Driver Appreciation Week. Connect with Justin Martin on TwitterFollow Back the Truck Up on Tiktok, Twitter, and their websiteListen to these shows next: Gift Ideas for Truck Driver Appreciation WeekHow Truckers Can Protect and Profit From Their ContentDrivers Deserve More Than a Social Media PostPitfalls and Perks of Working With Trucking InfluencersEverything is Logistics is hosted by Blythe Brumleve, founder of Digital Dispatch where we help freight companies get online and grow.
