Trucking along with video chat

Image001

In a time where technology is rampant and staying in touch with your friends and family is easier than ever before, the need for face-to-face interaction is more important than ever. With cell phones, it is easy to talk you your mother who lives on the other side of the country, but can it be equally as easy to be able to actually see her? Well, yes it can, through online video chat.

Online video chat places a camera in or on your computer and enables you to stream live video to and from two or more different computers. The feed is usually instantaneous and allows you to carry on a conversation with someone as if they were sitting right next to you. As human beings, we only communicate so much with our voice, the rest is with gestures and facial expressions. When you are talking to someone over a cell phone these important aspects are absent.

In the trucking industry, life on the road can be lonesome sometimes. Sure, you can talk to your family by using your cell phone, but sometimes you just want to see their smiling faces. With video chat, you can.

To do video chat, in most cases you do need the internet. There are multiple online video chat service providers that offer the capability to chat over video. There are even some computers out there that have the software pre-built into them. If your computer doesn’t have the software though, it is easy to set up and you can purchase what you need at just about any electronics store.

Imagine being able to sit in the bunk of your truck speaking with your family and friends while seeing them at the same time! Now being an over the road truck driver doesn’t have to mean you don’t get to see your new baby, or your best buddy. Just hop on the internet and start talking!

A truck driving job has many great benefits and now those don’t have to be clouded by the fact that you can’t see your family while over the road. With video chat, you can see them every night. Video chat is the way for truck drivers to have the face-to-face interaction they want while still being able to enjoy the truck driving job they love.
