Thanks to advancing technology, it’s now easier than ever for truckers keep connected with loved ones while on the road in this digital age. In this post, Prime Inc. highlights some 
of the most popular ways to stay in touch while you’re away from your family.
Social Media
More and more truckers keep connected with their family and friends by using Facebook and Twitter. These social sites are pure fun, enabling you to keep up with the lives of those you love while you’re away.
The best way to keep connected on Facebook is to view pictures of family outings and occasions while sharing pictures of your own adventures. Twitter is great for sharing brief glimpses into your day-to-day activities through short Tweets. These sites can even keep you current with local news while you’re away.
Skype
If you have a laptop, an Internet connection and a webcam, you can use Skype to stay in touch. Truckers keep connected with this free program that enables drivers to have real-time video chats with anyone who has a computer and a webcam. Even if you don’t have a webcam, you can still place calls via Skype to other Skype members, along with cell phones and even landlines.
FaceTime
iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users have yet another option for keeping connected: FaceTime. All you need is one of these devices and a Wi-Fi connection, and you can keep in touch almost anywhere! If you’ve ever wanted to be in two places at once, this is the most convenient, mobile way to make it happen.

The mobility and convenience of FaceTime certainly make it one of the best ways that truckers keep connected while on the road.
