Mike and Vicki Simons, the creators of Truck-Drivers-Money-Saving-Tips.com, began their careers in trucking in the early 1990s . This was years before the Internet became so commonly available and before inverters were sold in truck stops in the USA.
They wanted to save money on food on the road. Instead of always eating in a truck stop restaurant , they desired to cook and eat food in their truck. Unfortunately, there were no options besides a few 12 volt appliances in the travel stops catering to truckers.
trucking - The couple purchased one of the cheaply made but expensive to buy 12 volt hot pots from a chain truck stop.
During the course of using it, they learned that the device 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 of those hot pots , each one burning out while working in the manner for which it was purchased. 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?
trucker - Over the years, they observed the quality of the merchandise sold in truck stops with the same brand name. They further observed the shocking lack of product reviews of this merchandise 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 their website 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 the beginning , Truck-Drivers-Money-Saving-Tips.com 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 each product's warranty as a hint about its quality and to get substantiation to back up any claims that manufacturers make regarding their wares before making a purchase.
Because refund policies vary from truck stop to truck stop, the couple cautions truckers to know in advance what the refund policy is at the location where they intend to purchase a product, in case a refund is needed later.
trucking - 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.
