Kings Of The Road: Pickup Sales Grow, Truckers Love The Radio

More than a quarter of Americans (27.7%) own a pickup truck, reports The Media Audit. That number is growing, as truck sales account for 11.5% of automotive sales, up from 10% in the prior year.

Truck owners spend an average of 2 hours, 51 minutes per day listening to radio, 10% higher than the national average. They also spend 63 minutes exposed to outdoor advertising, compared to 53 minutes for the average adult. [Automotive]
