Truck Drivers Money Saving Tips Email Newsletter November 2010 -- Issue #016 At Truck-Drivers-Money-Saving-Tips.com, 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. We share what we have learned about saving money on the road and ask professional truck drivers to do the same. In other words... With your help, we're looking to expand our website to provide money saving information on lots of different topics -- information that provides tangible value to you and other professional drivers everywhere. Reviews Requested and Completed We seek reviews of products, services, truck parts, and truck stops on our site. Among the many reviews we have performed on our site are those for truck stop showers, truck stop fuel islands and truck stop restaurants. As a service to you, we have completed these reviews since our last newsletter: Shower Review: Pilot at Milford, Connecticut (2) Fuel Island Review: Pilot at Milford, Connecticut Fuel Island Review: Love's at Jonestown, Pennsylvania Fuel Island Review: Love's at Ormond Beach, Florida We perform reviews based on our own personal set of expectations. We fully recognize that what one driver expects, another may not and vice versa. If you, as a professional driver, disagree with a review, please feel free to submit one of your own.

Where's the Content? As happens from time to time, each of us needs to deal with an urgent family matter. From mid-October to late November, we had such a situation. That's why we haven't been able to research, write and publish much info on our website during that time -- or do the reviews we've been in the habit of doing. However, we were able to pre-schedule a Truck Drivers Money Saving Tip or Truck Drivers Money Saving Inquiry -- for our Twitter account -- each weekday during that time. If you missed any, you can catch up. We sure look forward to resuming the publication of money saving articles soon. Of course, we welcome your content, too! We wish you safe travels and lots of money saving opportunities on the road. Best regards, Mike and Vicki Simons https://www.truck-drivers-money-saving-tips.com/ Copyright © 2010.
