Layover.com Launches myLayover.com Truckers Social Network
URL: http://www.myLayover.com

Layover.com, the leading internet destination for the long-haul truck
driver, expands its already large network of trucker-specific tools by
giving those in the trucking industry their own personal space on the
internet at www.myLayover.com.

myLayover brings the full power of the latest internet-based social
networking tools to bear and puts them at the fingertips of the
driver. The new site's tagline, "Where Truckers Connect" aptly
describes a destination that cuts through the clutter to be found on
today's popular social-networking websites and allows a trucking-
specific destination for drivers nationwide to connect with each other
and their communities.

myLayover collects all the popular tools and features found on the
latest social sites such as Flickr, YouTube! Blogger, MySpace, and
others, and lays them out in one central location. "Being able to
communicate over long distances, all over the country, with pictures,
video, blogs, and other media is the strength of the internet," says
Bruce Martin, President of Layover.com. "Of course, long-haul truckers
have been doing this forever in one form or another, which makes these
social networking tools ideal for the driver. Collecting all of these
tools in one place makes it more convenient for the trucker given his
or her lifestyle."

Current and new Layover.com users who sign up for an account in
myLayover will be able to take advantage of creating their own blog,
uploading their pictures from the road, as well as uploading and
posting their own videos. Handy lists of "what's new" will let users
in on the latest activity from other users on the road.

"The features on myLayover will really be useful for the trucker who
has family at home, missing him or her for weeks at a time," states
Randy Racioppi of Layover. "Drivers can log in to their account while
on the road and get the latest home videos and pictures from the kids
or the spouse to make that time on the road move just a little bit
smoother. The family at home can also enjoy the same thing from the
driver, making it seem like he or she is not so far away."
