Welcoming 2021

And so it has come, the end of 2020. We look back at the year filled with challenges and opportunities. Trucker Path started the year by prioritizing app improvements such as new features and performance tweaks. We are also honored to have collaborated with truckers towards ironing out bugs, issues, and feature requests.

We are glad to be of service in the trying times of the year, especially when COVID19 happened. The trucking industry soldiered on and Trucker Path remained committed to providing premium services for truck drivers and also introducing COVID19 specific features and resources.

With the coming new year comes a new hope for a new beginning. It is also a time for resolutions, and whether or not you always stick to yours, this is a great time to commit to positive new habits. Consider adding the following commitments to your 2021 resolution list!

Eat healthier meals

Drink more water

Allocate more time for wellness/fitness

Gain additional endorsements / certifications (Hazmat, etc)

Learn a new skill

We, at Trucker Path, will continue to strive to provide the best trucking features for our truckers who keep our economy going. We truly appreciate the hard work and dedication you have done to ensure that shelves are stocked and we have food on our tables.

We wish you all a Happy New Year! Truck strong this 2021!
