Truck Driver Social Media Convention We are honored to sponsor the Truck Driver Social Media Convention for the second year in a row. This year, not only are we giving away truck drivers money saving tips, but we are giving away a couple of products that have enormous money saving potential when used systematically. We'll link to our news release announcing the items that will be available during the convention's prize drawings on our Trucking Social Media page, the same page that has an updated list of this year's sponsors and speakers. If you plan to attend the convention, we sure look forward to meeting you! Get and Share Great Money Saving Tips for Truck Drivers Every professional truck driver has a story about saving money or spending too much money in trucking. While we share our own successes and bone-headed mistakes on our website to help you, our site isn't just about us. Our goal is for our site to become a clearinghouse of how truckers around the world save money. Perhaps you've mastered something we haven't or you have knowledge about something we don't. We invite you to share your review of a product or service marketed and sold to truck drivers, your experience regarding a truck part you've used, your experience at a truck stop or your personal experience (your story) in dealing with money on the road as a trucker. So, what's your truck driver money saving tip?

We are pleased to let you know that today -- October 12, 2012 -- is our 21st wedding anniversary. Where has the time gone? We started truck driver training school less than a year after we were married. (That means that we've been involved in some aspect of the trucking industry -- on and off -- for over 20 years. Yikes!) We know that some truckers' families experience tension when the truckers are away from home. We provide tips to help ease that tension on our home support team and Valentine's Day pages. Don't be fooled by the title of the latter page, though; the money saving tips there can be used any time of the year. If you know of news that helps truckers save money -- or requires truckers to spend more money -- would you please let us know? We're only a tweet or Facebook post away. Thanks. To all of our readers who are professional truck drivers, we wish you safe travels and lots of money saving opportunities on the road!
