Image Driven, DNA of Commerce

The DNA of Commerce, an organization founded to ID (Identify) and to elevate the self-image; and thus elevate the public-image of how vitally important these real men, real women, and real children in trucking are to our commerce and our economy!   And we do this by sharing their lifestyle stories as they live their real lives. We are accomplishing this  mission through our image driven positive approach like our " Image Driven Magazine",  and with our Trucking Radio Show appearances.



Joseph,

Thanks again for featuring us in your last mag- all folks I have shown it to have enjoyed it!

I also got a ‘kick’ out of the Mt Rushmore picture you emailed-very neat!
Hope you and your family have a great ThanksGiving and Christmas Holiday and I wish you all the best with your magazine!

It is unique and offers a ‘fresh change’ as to compare with all the other magazines!

Sincerely

I am embarrassed that it has been so long since communicating.  I just put a check in the mail for your magazine.           Can't wait to get it.
It's good to see positive news on your web site. With high fuel prices and soft rates it's easy to become discouraged.
Keep up the good work and may you and your family have a joyous holiday  season.

As for animals I could go on for days with all the ones we have had through the years, but that gives you a few to pick from for Jacob. He had to look from cover to cover when dad's mag came in last week to see if he was in it. He doesn't understand deadlines and printing time!! That's my thing, I work for the local paper.
  Dad wanted me to add that he has now gotten involved with the Trucker Buddy Program. Well, thank you again, I look forward to the next issue.     Crystal

Most animals live in the moment, whereas human beings live in the past. Our here and now and our plans for the future are based on our experiences, our histories, and our memories.
You take pictures of your kids, pets, holidays, and special events.   You commemorate birthdays, anniversaries, promotions, and milestones of all kinds.  You take pictures of scenery and your travels.  Even the significance of your prized possessions is centered on the fact that those mere objects represent memories of the people, places, pets and events that shaped your lives.
Please share your photos and experiences with us by submitting your photos and stories; and let us share with others.
"Image Driven Magazine" It's about ordinary people like me, them, and you; sometimes doing extraordinary things; and it's about self and public image and who we are; it's about time we tell the world who we are; and maybe most importantly, it's about hope, faith, and desire; it's about delivering loads of images; and it's about  enjoying the journeys to our destinations!

Good am. My name is Tina Kaeo-Bateman.  I read your article about Derrick Bateman & his family.  Not only was I so impressed & proud as that's my little brother but I was so touched it brought happy tears to my eyes, I miss Derrick & his family very much.  I just wanted to send you a quick note well written & well done.
Take care & God bless
Tina Kaeo-Bateman
