Why Every Truck Driver Should Have a Profile Picture!

Why Every Truck Driver Should Have a Profile Picture!

Posted by Truckit on 25/01/2022

At Truckit we want to help you show potential users that you will go above and beyond to give them a more personalised experience.

A picture speaks a thousand words, and can also increase your chance of securing a job by over 50 percent. We recommend uploading a profile picture that includes your face. If you choose to upload more, you could also showcase yourself, your vehicles, or some of the interesting loads you have transported. Using this feature on your profile will allow a more comprehensive view of who you are, including your skills and experience, providing the user more bang for their buck.

To assist you in taking the best possible profile picture, we have compiled some industry pro-tips below!

1. Show Your Face

This may sound obvious, but it isn’t uncommon to find profile pictures that require you to zoom in, only to be faced with indecipherable pixels. Your picture could be taken whilst you participate in a hobby, or in the workplace - as long as there is a clear view of your face. You want to make the point to users that you are also a human being wanting to provide an excellent service; working to support themselves and their families.

2. Use Contrasting Colours

If you have decided to take a more professional profile picture with a more basic background, contrasting colours are a great way to draw people’s attention. To ensure that it will stand out, be aware of the platform's key colour scheme where you are posting your picture. For some insight, check out the colour wheel below!

3. Smile!

Research has shown that people who have bigger smiles in their profile pictures have greater social connections and relationships, so make sure you flash those pearly whites!

4. Why stop at just 1 picture?

You can upload a gallery of pictures to your Truckit profile to help show off your vehicles, your professionalism and examples of things you have moved previously. Having a variety of pictures can give the customer incentive to choose your quote as you are showcasing your experience!

We hope these pro-tips helped you take your ultimate profile picture!
