Default Missing family events while driving

Hi, I'm a writer for brands like Freightliner, Western Star, Detroit, RoadPro, Wilson etc. I'm writing a story about how truckers use tech to "participate" in family events when they can't be there (birthday parties, games, recitals etc.) I'm looking for examples of using Facebook, Skype, Facetime, Twitter etc. to take part in the festivities.

I'd like to talk to anyone who can talk about how they handle it (and be willing to be named).

Thanks in advance.

I'll talk to you, and be named. But, I'm a bit confused about who you actually "write" for. Can't really SEE where Detroit Engines is really interested in how I use tech to communicate with my family.

But, you can email me.... if you're REALLY interested at [email protected].

Maybe because detroit already communicates with whoever is setup to receive(in my case my e-mail). Pretty simple to use the same setup for other communication.
