Mike and Vicki Simons, the creators of Truck-Drivers-Money-Saving-Tips.com, began their careers in trucking in in 1992. This was years before the Internet was widely available and before inverters were sold in truck stops in the USA.
The couple wanted to save money on meals on the road. Instead of always eating truck stop food, 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.
trucker - They bought 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 product was so poorly constructed 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?
truck drivers - 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 silent they felt that they had to warn other professional truck drivers. They started Truck-Drivers-Money-Saving-Tips.com 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 , Truck-Drivers-Money-Saving-Tips.com 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 truckers
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 buying them .
Because truck stop refund policies vary , the couple cautions truckers to know ahead of time what the refund policy is at the location where they intend to purchase a product, in case a refund is needed later.
trucker - Finally, Mike and Vicki Simons request reviews of products that truck drivers have personally used, for the purpose of protecting their fellow truckers from falling into a money pit.
