RoadGorilla.com is a brand new web location designed for professional drivers and owner-operators of any size truck - from cargo van to tractor-trailer. It's a comprehensive website to satisfy the needs of all segments of trucking, dry van, flatbeds, bulk transport and tankers.

Designed as a unique online meeting place for trucking pros looking to express themselves to their peers and expand their trucking careers, RoadGorilla.com was created through a unique strategic partnership between On Time Media and Trucking Jobs, two of todayís leading providers of online trucking media and recruiting services.

"RoadGorilla.com is designed to provide drivers with an online meeting place where they can solve their career challenges and real-world problems through the power of a peer-driven community," says Lawrence McCord, a former owner-operator and digital renegade who now serves as President of On Time Media.

"This is a concept that we've been planning and working on for the past five years," he says. "We wanted a site that offered advanced networking tools for the professional truck driver. As we all know, trucking, in all of its forms, is not simply a career, it's a lifestyle. With that mobile lifestyle in mind, we created RoadGorilla.com - a perfect way to connect with friends, family and even people one meets on the road."

"In a very short space of time, it has already become the largest trucking social networking site on the internet with well over 9,500 members."

"Our strategic partnership with On Time Media intensifies our focus on developing innovative recruiting solutions in addition to markedly expanding upon the capabilities and streamlining the operations of both companies," says Mark Reidenbach, President of Trucking Jobs.

Reidenbach explains that the partnership between On Time Media and Trucking Jobs - which in the case of RoadGorilla.com combined Trucking Jobs' advanced recruiting software with On Time Media's multi-media expertise -  also includes cooperation in the areas of mobile marketing, advertising, and driver event marketing.

What makes RoadGorilla.com a unique web site is the fact that it is a seamless, integrated website. What that means is a driver can manage his life on the road. With a simple log-in he can manage his professional career, keep in touch with his family back home through social networking and also allow him to stay in touch with his peers - other drivers and friends he finds online.

"Other social networking tools we offer are blogs where the driver can express his views and opinions, photo sharing, video sharing and music sharing," explains McCord. "On the career management side of the coin, RoadGorilla.com is the most advanced manager out there. It's the only web site of its kind because of its security orientation. Many trucking web sites will share a driver's personal information and data with other companies - with RoadGorilla.com all of that information is kept strictly confidential."
