Flickr is a popular online photo website where you can manage and share all your digital photos. The best part? It’s totally free. So you can upload your favorite photos from behind-the-wheel to share with family and friends without spending a dime (unless you upgrade to Flickr Pro for $25 a year). This is an awesome service for truck driving jobs.
To get started, visit Flickr.com and click “Create an Account.” Once signed in, you can begin to upload all your photos (the Flicker FAQ section has great, detailed instructions on how to upload photos – click here to read it). Unlike other sharing websites, Flickr doesn’t use titles or folders; instead, short tags are given to organize photos. Most Flickr users create tags for photos that include names, locations, event descriptions or theme; for example: “Colorado,” “Mountains,” “Big Rig,” and “Truck Stop.”
Flickr is also more than just a photo website, it’s a social network as well. You can make friends (known as contacts on Flickr) and see all their latest photos when they’re uploaded. To make a new contact, click on their name, which will take you to their photo page. Then simply click on “Add Username,” select whether they are a friend or family member, and Flickr will send the person an invite.
Truck driving jobs often require time away from home and many truck drivers work alone, so Flickr provides an easy, useful way to share your favorite photos with friends and family while you’re away. To learn more about Flickr and how to use it, visit the their official website and click on “About Flickr.” There you can take a tour of Flickr, read the FAQ, and get the help you need to start sharing your photos while on the road!
