H8Media
RETAIN
Over the Road Magazine is pleased to partner with H8Media to offer video production services to the trucking industry. With the continued growth of online and mobile communications, trucking companies are now using online videos to help recruit truck drivers. TRAIN
A recruiting video will introduce prospective drivers to your company early in the recruiting process and keep you competitive with other carriers who are using this technology. It especially targets the younger, socially media savvy demographic and builds an important rapport which will increase your number of applications. With upwards of 70% of younger drivers and/or their families researching carriers before applying for a driving job, recruiting and corporate videos are more likely to be shared on social media platforms. Recruiting videos will also increase click through rates to your web site. If you have an aging driver population, a recruiting video might be the right initiative to encourage younger demographics to apply. With the advancements of new technology, it has never been a better time to increase your recruiting success by investing in your social media presence.

Truck Stop Posters
Truck Stop Brochure Racks
Our truck stop poster program helps you to build strong brand awareness and geotarget specific recruiting areas by advertising directly in some of the busiest truck stops across Canada. We have over 200 truck stop poster frames placed in 65 high volume truck stops coast to coast. Each location has anywhere from one to eight frames. Our aluminum framed, 25” x 38” poster frames are strategically placed in driver’s lounges, lobbies and along busy hallways and corridors to maximize visibility. We can design and print the posters for you or use your existing artwork. Posters are placed at the beginning of each month by our distribution team and posters can be changed or updated as needed on a monthly basis. Please inquire for availability.
We also have a network of rotating brochure racks to complement our truck stop poster program. Our 16 slot, free standing, brochure racks are placed in the driver lounges and lobbies of high volume truck stops in Ontario and Alberta. Brochures placed in these racks will provide added exposure to a poster or advertising campaign and will increase the circulation of your message. We can design and print the brochures or use brochures that you already have. A minimum of 1500 brochures will be needed to start this marketing program.
The base price for the Truck Stop Poster program is $150.00/poster per month + tax but there are discounts available based on the number of posters placed and the duration of the contract.

This paperless system will show you how to train your drivers in less time while ensuring the integrity of your training program. > Simple and user friendly for drivers to navigate and for safety personnel to administer > Draw from 750+ ready-to-use training videos or create customized training videos using your own power equipment and personnel > Keep your Drivers updated with changes in regional and national legislation > Create scheduled course curriculum for staff and remedial training for individuals > Provide date and time stamped verification that training was administered should a DOT or MTO audit occur > Streamline cost of administrative tasks such as orientation and administering new polices > Access to FREE monthly webinars discussing the relevant issues in trucking by independent industry experts
“ In 2010, my annual cost per accident was $10,000. I’m down to about $1,600 per accident. I’ve been using Infinit-i for about 3.5 years. Say we have an average of 40 accidents a year. Take 40 accidents at $10,000 and you drop it down to $1,600, that’s a big change to the bottom line. It’s all about behaviour. If you don’t keep things in front of them (the drivers) and try to change behaviours, you’re not going to see
