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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To assist you in taking the best possible profile picture, we have compiled some industry pro-tips below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Show Your Face<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may sound obvious, but it isn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/truckit.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-19-at-4.37.41-pm.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-849\"\/><figcaption>                          <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Use Contrasting Colours<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2019s 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!<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=i&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fipoxstudios.com%2Fcomplementary-colors-the-biggest-myth-of-all-time-video%2F&amp;psig=AOvVaw2PZGUma-F-k63_JsbpfefJ&amp;ust=1640842244478000&amp;source=images&amp;cd=vfe&amp;ved=0CAsQjRxqFwoTCOj5hPGjiPUCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAK\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/truckit.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/colour-wheel.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-850\" width=\"378\" height=\"368\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Smile!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/truckit.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-19-at-4.40.41-pm-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-853\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4.
