The creators of Truck-Drivers-Money-Saving-Tips.com, Mike and Vicki Simons, began trucking in the early 1990s . This was in the days before the Internet was widely 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 truck stop food, they desired to take and cook food in their truck. Unfortunately, there were no other options besides a few DC powered appliances in the truck stops .
trucker - The couple bought one of the cheaply made but expensive to buy 12 volt hot pots from a chain truck stop.
Upon use , they learned that the device was so inferior in quality that it burned out within a matter of weeks.
Because there were no other options, they cycled through eight hot pots from the same manufacturer, each one burning out while being used in-truck . There is no amount of money that a trucker can earn that is 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, the couple observed the quality of the merchandise sold in truck stops with the same brand name. They further observed the surprising lack of product reviews of this merchandise online. That is when they decided that they couldn't remain silent they felt that they had to warn other professional truck drivers. They started their website in order to speak out. As a result, 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 , the website has been a place where other truck drivers 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 professional truck drivers
not to be satisfied with inferior products to look at each product's warranty as a hint about its quality and to get evidence to back up any claims that companies make regarding their wares 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.
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.
