Mike and Vicki Simons, the creators of Truck-Drivers-Money-Saving-Tips.com, began their careers in trucking in the early 1990s . This was in the days before the Internet became so commonly available and before inverters were sold in truck stops in the USA.
The couple wanted to save money on food on the road. Instead of always eating in a truck stop restaurant , they desired to take and cook food in their truck. Unfortunately, there were no other options besides a few appliances wired for 12-volt outlets in the travel stops catering to truckers.
tips.com/meal-preparation.html truck drivers - Mike and Vicki bought one of the 12 volt hot pots that they described as cheaply made but expensive to buy from a chain truck stop.
During the course of using it, they discovered that the unit was so inferior in quality that it burned out within a short period of time .
Because there were no other options, they ran through eight hot pots from the same manufacturer, each one burning out while being used in-truck . There is no truck driver salary large enough to absorb continual losses like this indefinitely.
Mike and Vicki wondered, If we're having this kind of trouble, how many other truck drivers are having the same kind of trouble?
truckers - Over the years, the couple observed the quality of the merchandise sold in chain truck stops . They further observed the surprising lack of product reviews of these products online. That is when they decided that they couldn't remain quiet they felt that they had to warn other professional truck drivers. They started Truck-Drivers-Money-Saving-Tips.com in order to speak out. In so doing , they became trucker consumer advocates.
The couple knows that they do not know all there is to know about saving money in trucking. From its inception, the website has been a place where other truckers can also speak out about their experiences with saving money or being forced to spend more money in trucking. The site has been proven to be the place to get and share great money saving tips for truck drivers.
The couple urges truckers
not to be satisfied with poor quality products to look at the warranty of each product as a hint about its quality and to get substantiation to support any claims that companies make regarding their products before making a purchase.
Because refund policies vary from truck stop to truck stop, the couple cautions truckers to know ahead of time what the refund policy is at the place where they intend to buy a product, in case a refund is needed later.
trucker - Finally, Mike and Vicki Simons request reviews of products that truckers have personally used, for the purpose of protecting their fellow truck drivers from falling into a money pit.
