We say "thank you" to the speakers at and sponsors of the Trucking Social Media Convention (aka Truck Drivers Social Media Convention), the first annual event of which was held on Saturday, October 15, 2011 in Tunica, MS.

A huge thanks goes to Allen and Donna Smith, of AskTheTrucker.com and TruthAboutTrucking.com, who organized the whole event.

We were honored to be part of this fine group of folks and businesses that support professional truck drivers. Because of this support, we think that their products, services or advocacy deserve consideration.

To show our gratitude to these speakers and sponsors, we are "giving back" by listing and linking to them below alphabetically.

Money saving tip: When you contact any of the speakers or sponsors from the first annual Trucking Social Media Convention from the list above, please tell them that you saw their link on our website.

Also if they sell a product or service, it doesn't hurt to ask if they have a discount or introductory rate. They might not have one, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Sometimes the old saying applies: "You have not because you ask not."
