About Us

About American Truck Drivers®

American Truck Drivers® is operated by American Truck Drivers Inc.

American Truck Drivers® operates Atruckdrivers.com and the American Truck Drivers® mobile application, providing news, media, community features, and resources focused on the people and businesses that keep the trucking industry moving.

Our goal is to create a useful digital destination where professional drivers can stay informed, follow important industry developments, watch and share media from the road, participate in discussions, and connect with the wider trucking community.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple:

To help American truck drivers stay informed, connected, and better prepared for life on the road.

We focus on information and stories that matter to professional drivers, including:

  • Trucking industry news.
  • Safety and regulatory developments.
  • Carrier and business news.
  • Driver issues.
  • Road and operational topics.
  • Technology and equipment.
  • Videos and media from the trucking community.
  • Stories and experiences from drivers themselves.

We aim to present information in a clear and accessible way while keeping the perspective of professional drivers at the center of our coverage.

Atruckdrivers.com

Atruckdrivers.com is the web home of American Truck Drivers®.

The website provides trucking news, analysis, video, editorial content, policy information, and other resources related to the transportation industry.

Our editorial team works to identify information that is relevant to drivers and the trucking community and to provide context around developments that may affect the industry.

The American Truck Drivers® Mobile App

The American Truck Drivers® mobile app extends our platform beyond the website and provides a dedicated mobile experience for drivers.

The app includes areas such as:

Home

A central place to discover current News, Media, and featured content.

News

Trucking news and articles that can be read directly inside the app.

Where supported, articles may also contain video or social-media content from third-party platforms.

Media

A dedicated area for video, photo, and gallery content.

Media may include:

  • American Truck Drivers®-hosted App Videos.
  • App Photos.
  • App Galleries.
  • YouTube videos.
  • Approved driver-submitted media.

Community

The Community area allows users to participate in discussions and interact around trucking-related topics.

Depending on the feature, signed-in users may be able to:

  • Publish Community posts.
  • Comment.
  • Reply.
  • Like or dislike.
  • Report inappropriate content.
  • Participate in conversations connected to News and Media.

Submit Media

Drivers and other authorized contributors may submit photos and videos directly through the mobile app for possible editorial use.

Submissions may include an ownership and licensing authorization so that rights and permissions are clearly documented before approved media is published.

Submitting content does not guarantee publication.

American Truck Drivers® retains editorial control over what is approved and published.

Content From the Road

One of our goals is to give professional drivers a way to contribute to the stories and events they experience firsthand.

Approved user-submitted content may appear as App Video, App Photo, or App Gallery content.

Where appropriate, published user-submitted material may include public credit such as:

Submitted by @username

We believe driver-generated media can provide valuable perspective when it is handled responsibly, properly authorized, and clearly identified.

Our Editorial Approach

Accuracy, context, and transparency are important to American Truck Drivers®.

We seek to use reliable sources and, where appropriate, official information from government agencies, regulators, companies, court records, industry organizations, and other relevant sources.

Because news develops quickly, information may change after publication.

When appropriate, we may:

  • Update developing stories.
  • Correct errors.
  • Add new information.
  • Clarify earlier reporting.
  • Add context.
  • Replace or update media.

More information about our editorial standards, corrections, sourcing, user-submitted media, and sponsored content is available in our Editorial Policy.

Advertising and Sponsors

Advertising helps support the operation and continued development of American Truck Drivers®.

The website and mobile application may display advertising from different sources.

ATD / Sponsor Ads

American Truck Drivers® may work directly with businesses and sponsors that want to reach the trucking community.

Direct sponsor advertising may include:

  • Image advertisements.
  • Video advertisements.
  • Sponsored links.
  • Promotional messages.
  • Calls to action.

Direct sponsor advertisements may appear in eligible areas of the mobile application, including content feeds, articles, and American Truck Drivers®-hosted video experiences.

Google Advertising

The American Truck Drivers® mobile application may also display advertising provided through Google AdMob.

Depending on advertising availability, the app may rotate direct ATD/Sponsor advertising and Google advertising within eligible advertising positions.

If no direct sponsor advertisement is available, a third-party advertisement may fill an eligible advertising position.

If no advertisement is available, the app may simply continue displaying content without leaving an unnecessary empty advertising space.

Our Approach to Advertising

We want advertising to support the service without taking over the user experience.

Our mobile advertising approach is designed around inline advertising integrated into the normal content experience, rather than advertisements that unnecessarily block access to the app.

Advertising frequency and placement may be adjusted over time based on user experience, campaign availability, and technical considerations.

Paid advertisements and sponsored content are intended to be distinguishable from independent editorial content.

Editorial Independence

Advertising relationships do not give sponsors or advertising providers control over American Truck Drivers®’ independent editorial decisions.

A company purchasing advertising does not receive the right to:

  • Control unrelated news coverage.
  • Prevent legitimate reporting.
  • Require favorable editorial treatment.
  • Approve unrelated editorial content before publication.

Likewise, the presence of an advertisement does not necessarily mean that American Truck Drivers® endorses the advertiser, its products, services, claims, or business practices.

Our goal is to maintain a clear distinction between editorial content and paid advertising or sponsorship.

Third-Party Platforms

American Truck Drivers® may integrate with or display content from third-party services such as:

  • YouTube.
  • Google.
  • Facebook / Meta.
  • Instagram.
  • X.
  • TikTok.
  • Vimeo.
  • Other services where appropriate.

Those platforms operate independently and have their own terms, privacy policies, and content or advertising systems.

  • Email or username sign-in.
  • Google Sign-In.

Account Control

Users are able to manage their American Truck Drivers® account and may request permanent deletion of their account and associated personal data.

Where available, account deletion can be initiated directly through the mobile application.

Certain limited records may be retained where reasonably necessary for legal, security, licensing, editorial-rights, or other legitimate purposes as described in our Privacy Policy and Account Deletion documentation.
