Product Reviews on Items
Marketed to and Sold to Truck Drivers

Have you ever wished you could read product reviews on items marketed to and sold to truck drivers, particularly at truck stops, before you plunk down your hard-earned money? Then you've come to the right place.

Through this website, we provide real world tips that help professional truck drivers save hard-earned money and personal reporting about products and services for use on the road. On this page, we will link to specific items that we have personally tested, including those we have used in the trucks we have driven. We provide the pros and cons.

We are also asking for your product reviews of items marketed to or used by truckers, those for your own personal use and those for use in your truck. Click here to share a truck product review with visitors to this page! If you're like us, you've walked around in the chain truckstops and seen lots of items for sale in the travel stores. You've been around long enough to know that some of those items just look cheap -- even though they may be sold at what seems like a premium price! Some items may indeed be sturdy, durable, long-lasting and worth the cost while others aren't worth a plugged nickel.

Here's our list of what we have reviewed (linked) and plan to review personally:

• Aluminum forms holder
• Presto Kitchen Kettle (hot pot)
• Pot-n-Pop
• Thetford Porta Potti 365
• Thermoelectric cooler
• Mountain House Freeze Dried Scrambled Eggs with Bacon
• Mountain House Beef Stew
• Coleman ice chest
• Snapware
• Siphon pump
• Trucker's Workstation ™ Laptop Stand by Cyber Trucker
• Bubba Keg
• The Enforcer king pin lock
• Debbie Meyer^™ GreenBags^®
• 12-Volt Tornado Fan.

Just because we plan to review the items listed above does not mean that you cannot provide a review of your own. If you have had a bad experience with an item that we had a good experience with -- or you have had a good experience with an item that we had a bad experience with -- that's OK! If you look at the customer reviews on sites like Amazon.com, you'll see that people have written about their wide range of experiences: good, bad and everywhere in between. There's an old adage about getting the testimony of two or three witnesses. So, please feel free to write about what you know.

We make a distinction between products like this that don't come equipped on a truck and truck parts. Just because you don't see an item listed doesn't mean that you can't write a review about it. If you are interested in providing a product review, please see the information under our money saving tip below.

Please note: We also have pages where drivers may review truck parts, truck services and truck stops.

Money saving tip: If you have ever pulled up product reviews or customer ratings on a website to see what the editors, experts or users have written, you know that people sometimes take great pains to give the pros and cons of using various items to encourage or warn future buyers, as the case may warrant. The magazine Consumer Reports contains "reviews and comparisons of consumer products and services based on reporting and results from its in-house testing laboratory."* In this case, you are the consumer; you do your own product testing. Just because an item may be sold in a truckstop -- supposedly for use in trucks -- does not mean that it will work well in trucks. If you find something particularly appealing or disturbing, your review can mean the difference between a sale and a pass at the store by a fellow driver. Think of it as either a personal recommendation (like a money saving tip) or a personal warning like you would give face-to-face.
