Feedback
The company solicited feedback from its current Team Run Smart member base, as well as surveyed outside perspectives to update the site for a more user-friendly experience, McHorse says. “We are committed to continually improving our platform and what better way to do so than by listening first-hand to the trucking community.
“I have learned so much from the content on this site that relates not only to my Class 8 truck but also applies to my personal travel trailer,” says Craig McCue, an owner- operator from Sasquatch HI-MT Water. “In addition to the vast amount of helpful content, I have been welcomed and included like family and greatly appreciate the interactions between all the members.
“Team Run Smart really is a community”.
