Bridging the Technology Gap: Helping Older Truckers Adapt and Thrive in a Digital World

Credit: https://driving.ca/ The trucking industry is evolving at a pace that some might find dizzying, particularly for the seasoned truckers who have been on the road for decades. Technology, with all its advancements, promises to make life easier for truckers, but for many older drivers, it’s starting to feel more like a barrier than a benefit. You see, the shift to tech-driven operations in…

I used to drive a truck, Tesla is to trucks, what rusty garbage cans are to housing.

Call me old school but "modern" cars are way too overkill.

My car (a used 2010 Honda accord) was totalled and I'm currently renting a 2018 Ford edge from my insurance company while I find a new vehicle.

Now driving this thing feels like driving a damn spaceship or the DeLorean from Back to the Future. There's just so many damn buttons, dials, lights, and just fluff in the dash and center console it's straight up hard to drive. On closer inspection, at least 5 buttons control the light above the driver and passenger's head.

Like what is all this??? Why do we need this many buttons???

And the stick for changing gears? It's that little dial in the second photo. You swivel it to change whether you're in park, reverse, drive, etc. I feel like it's gonna just randomly pop into a different gear while I'm driving!

And why the touch screen?? We don't need a massive ipad embedded in the console! Touch screens are not safe to drive with! I almost got in another accident trying to turn down the AC because I have no tactile feedback in the controls!

By old car was built like this:

Most of those buttons were for the radio. Dials for the AC and how to direct it, and those dials clicked when you moved them so you could tell how far they'd moved. The stick shift clunked when you moved it so you could tell how many times it had been moved and you felt it lock into place. Only a couple buttons on the steering wheel, three for cruise control, three for the audio system. And even this was the most buttons I had to learn ever! I'd argue some of the 'features' in that car were kinda useless and needless to have and just took up space!

Maybe I'm just crotchety and old (I'm 24 lol) but we don't need all this shit in cars! It's straight up distracting and unnecessary. It's a car. It gets you from point A to point B. I don't think you'd ever catch my driving a car any newer than like 2014.

sucks how sci-fi movies that take place close to the year we’re in imagine technology to be much cooler than it actually is in 2024

Everything Changes, Even Trucking

It’s no secret that our industry is changing at lightning speed, and adapting to these changes is key to staying on top. One of the biggest shifts we’re seeing is the rise of technology in trucking. From route optimization to automated loading systems, tech is becoming a huge part of our daily lives on the road. Embracing this technology can feel overwhelming, but it’s crucial for staying…
