What do drivers do when they have free time while waiting to load, unload, or on their 34? Chances are, they’re on the CDLLife App! To date, more than 100,000 users have downloaded the CDLLife App and nearly 1,000 more are downloading the app each day!
With all the sitting and waiting drivers have to do, finding an outlet for community and entertainment can be a great escape from reality. It’s not all fun and games on the app, though, it’s also a great resource for drivers, a place to ask for advice, get the heads up on road delays, read truck stop reviews, find parking, get weather updates and much more.
Our absolute favorite post thread this week was the result of an unfortunate event — a lost wallet. A CDLLife App user posted that she lost her wallet at a truck stop in Elizabethtown, KY.
The post had numbers comments, suggesting a myriad of places to search, steps to take, etc. One comment; however, was different.
Jonathan L. wrote, “I’m at the Loves in west Memphis. I’ll spot you lunch if you’re close by. I have about 10 minutes left on my 30 minute break and then I’ll be headed to Texas.”
Another user commented how nice the gesture was, but you couldn’t see a response from the driver who lost her wallet.
Fast forward a couple of hours, and Jonathan L and the driver who lost her wallet both posted meet up pictures! It turns out not 1 but 2(!!!) CDLLife members, Jonathan L and John Q, both met up with the driver who lost her wallet!
Faith restored in humanity!
With winter weather in full effect last week, drivers were also eager to share their winter driving tips. There were tips all drivers could learn from — from new drivers to veterans.
Reviews – The CDLLife App is a great place to find out about available parking, find good places to eat and get reviews on trucks stops and restaurants.
