Goodyear’s 395 LH Steer Tire

Goodyear might be best known for their blimps, but this company is still one of the top tire manufacturers in the nation. And with the introduction of their new tire, The Goodyear Unisteel[R] G395 LHS[TM] line haul steer tire, Goodyear doesn’t let their fan base down. The new steer tire is designed to make it for the long haul, and that’s exactly what it does.

The five-rib tread design is made to not only allow truckers to get the traction they need, but this innovative construction also allows truckers to get more ware out of their tires, meaning a longer life and more money in their pockets.

But just because a product allows a trucker to get more for his or her money doesn’t mean that it’s a good buy. Instead, truckers need to purchase tires that not only allow them to spend a reasonable amount of cash for a great return, but also they need to purchase tires that are going to keep them safe and in motion on the road.

Luckily, Goodyear’s 395 LH Steer Tire is just that kind of tire, the kind that makes handling a dream.

Because of snipes and slots that are located on the three main ribs of the tire, the tire can provide better traction and handling than many other similar brands. In addition, the edge blades allow for better performance, and minimized effects due to ware and tear.

Of course, keeping a tire safe from ware and tear means monitoring it not just while it’s on the road, but also while its in the elements. That’s why Goodyear’s 395 model tire has extra protection that keeps it from facing problems due to an excess of rainwater. Furthermore, the tire is designed to stand up to punctures and other problems that routinely occur because of the rigors of the roads that truckers drive.

Goodyear has always been known for their high-quality tires that have the ability to stand up to the kind of life that truckers live out on the road. But this new model is more than just the quality of the good year. Instead it’s the kind of tire that is easy to handle, safe to drive on, and saves truckers money because of the amount of use they get out of it. Truckers who are interested in checking out Goodyear’s newest tires, including the 395 model, can visit www.goodyear.com.

LED Lights for Trucks

How would you like to spare yourself some of the work when you buy new LED lights for your truck? Do you remember when they came out with pre-lighted Christmas trees? Do you know why those were such a hit? Of course, it was because everybody hates putting Christmas tree lights up—with the tangling and the breaking—but most people also love to look at the lights. The concept is much the same when it comes to installing LED lights for trucks and trailers. But now you have another option.

Stainless steel cab and sleeper panels from ATW Chrome come with the lights pre-wired, so you don’t have to do any electrical working, saving you the time and money involved with hiring an electrician. These lights are just like your favorite game system—plug and play! No professional installer and no hours spent poured over a technical manual—just take them out of the box and get ready to go!

In addition to being an easy way to get lights on your truck, pre-wired cab and sleeper lights from ATW Chrome add a positive aesthetic enhancement to your truck. They are available in several highly polished styles, including different light shapes. With the variety, you’re sure to find something that fits your truck to a T. And you also don’t need to worry about the actual fitting because ATW Chrome offers extenders for Peterbilt and Freightliner trucks. No matter what kind of truck you drive, you should be able to find cab and sleeper panels that work for you.

You can purchase ATW’s cab and sleeper panels in cab-only, sleeper only, or four-piece cab and sleeper sets. When you call ATW Chrome for a quote, you’ll be sure to find an affordable option that you can handle. And because the high quality panels are manufactured out of durable, high-grade stainless steel, you can count on a shine that will last you for miles. Of course, you don’t need to worry about the strength of the product, which has been designed for use with the toughest semi trucks.

While sleeper panels can be a stylish addition to your cab, sleeper, or both, they can also increase your safety from theft and collision with the powerful LED lights for trucks. And because those lights are pre-wired, you can spare yourself some of the frustration of installation.

Say Good-bye Foggy Mirrors!

November 17, 2009 · Posted in trucking products · Comment

Unbreakable No Fog Mirror

Although a fogged mirror can always be annoying, when you’re a truck driver, it can be downright dangerous. And the frustrating thing is that many times there’s nothing you can do to stop the mirror from fogging. And even though you can’t stop the inclement weather from occurring, you still need your mirrors to be clear so that you can drive safely and with confidence.

Thankfully, there’s a mirror that you can purchase that can solve this problem—a mirror that never fogs, no matter the weather. With a fog resistant mirror, you can be sure that you’ll be at your driving best, even if you don’t have optimal driving conditions. This can increase your safety, making you a better and more efficient driver.

Available from J&S Distributors, the unbreakable no fog mirror is a great addition to any trucker’s cab. In addition to being fog resistant, it’s also unbreakable, making it a safer and more durable mirror to have on the road. Although the suction cup mounting that comes with the mirror is reliable, that doesn’t mean that it can stand up to the tests of the open road. Potholes, stopping short, and swerving sharply to avoid collisions are just a few things that trucks have to do. These hazardous activities can lead to the shifting of items within a cab—including mirrors. And having broken glass in the cab is never something that truckers want to contend with.

Because the unbreakable no fog mirror won’t shatter even if the truck is in a serious accident, it is much safer than other mirrors. In addition, this mirror is large, with a six-inch diameter, that not only magnifies blind spots, but that also can be used for other tasks, such as applying makeup and shaving. And because the suction cup brackets make the mirror easy to place and to move, it is the perfect safety addition for a trucker who routinely must change cabs and cannot install a more permanent fixture.

Accutire Tire Gauge-The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread

November 4, 2009 · Posted in Uncategorized, trucking products · Comment

What are some simple things that have made our lives infinitely easier? People often used the phrase, “the best thing since sliced bread.” It’s true, how often has sliced bread made life easier for you on the road? You grab a couple of slices and some lunchmeat or PB&J and you’ve got a quick, easy snack. Sliced bread makes us see that sometimes the simplest inventions are what makes our lives the easiest.

The same lesson can be learned from the Accutire Digital Tire Gauge. It’s a simple stick that is about as long as an eyeglass case. Costing under $30, it’s not the most expensive invention. Surely, it’s not as life changing to the over the road trucker as the GPS system or the laptop. But the Accutire Tire Gauge does make life a whole lot easier.

Using a traditional tire gauge can be the last straw in the life of a frustrated trucker who has had a long day. Stopping to get fuel, you want to get in and out and back on the road as fast as possible, but you have to check the air in your tires. You want to meet the standards set by environmental agencies, transportation groups, and your employer. You also want to make sure you’re not driving on flat tires, using more fuel than necessary and paying for that used fuel.

But using a traditional tire gauge makes you bend to try to see the numbers indicated, stooping uncomfortably while you try to keep the gauge on the tire. Because you already have to do so much stooping, bending, sitting, and lifting when you’re delivering a load from one place to another, stooping to check the tire pressure is just one more ache and pain you don’t need. And if you’re trying to fill that tire, the frustration, stooping, bending, and attempting to read gets even worse.

Because the Accutire displays the tire pressure in bright, red, large numbers that are easy to see—no more stooping. And since the Accutire is just that, accurate, you don’t have to worry about whether or not you got the tire pressure right. Going from wheel to wheel checking tire pressure gets to be frustrating when you’re driving a semi-truck. Even if you have an automated tire pressure gauge in your cab, having an Accutire is a smart decision, making checking tire pressure incredibly easy if you have malfunction. And for under $30, this invention should go right in your box of on-the-road necessity.

Accutire, or a similar model, is also sold at truck stops and automotive stores across the country. Picking one up is simple, easy, and will save you a great deal of frustration in the long run.

Keep the Picture Clear

July 2, 2009 · Posted in trucking products · 2 Comments

TVs have come a long way in just a few short years. No longer do truckers have to keep small, 13 inch black and white TVs in their trucks. Today, many options are available to the trucker who wants to enjoy entertainment on the road. In fact, truckers today can even get satellite TV, the Internet with its programs such as Hulu, iTunes, and You Tube, and a digital television signal captured over an antenna. But no matter what you’re watching and how you’re watching what you’re watching it on makes all the difference.

From your PDA to your GPS to your laptop, LCD screens are popping up everywhere. Where perhaps they are most coveted, however, is on TVs. LCD screens offer several advantages for viewers who want a great television experience. LCD screens are clearer and give a more defined picture. In addition, their size and style makes them less bulky. This is especially true for the trucker who is looking for a place the perfect place to put their TVs—where they can be watched, protected, and stylish all at the same time. Indeed, LCD screens are very popular on TVs today and Skyworth TV’s have a large selection to coose from.

Now, truckers can get LCD screens on their in-cab televisions. Skyworth offers a 22’, 12-volt TV with DVD player that is just the thing for the trucker that likes his or her entertainment. This model comes with special protection to prevent power surges that could end up damaging either the TV or the DVD player. In addition, it’s compatible with HD programming, has a headphone jack, and is ready to accept cable, in addition to DVDs. And for truckers who are concerned with style, Skyworth manufactures a wall-mounting kit.

But you don’t have to break the bank to watch TV in style in your cab. The LCD TV/DVD combo from Skyworth is less than $400. With LCD TVs all over the nation selling like crazy, you better gobble up the price before it’s gone. Just because you’re a trucker doesn’t mean you have to miss all of your favorite shows and miss out on watching movies when that’s probably just want your family is doing at home. In fact, put on the same kids movie that your family is playing and watch it while talking on the phone—it will be just like being there. Whatever your motivation, 12-volt LCD screens are durable and affordable with Skyworth.

Buy Trucks

The road to buying a used semi-truck can be filled with many potholes of disappointment. First comes the search through classified ads, dealerships, and even bulletins in truck stops. Once you narrow your search to a few promising trucks, you may discover that they are no longer available or are not as described. This search does not include the hours spent finding a certified mechanic to check out the trucks or the time it will take you to do research on the used vehicle. At the end of the search, you may feel exhausted, and you might not even have a new truck to show for your efforts!

With TruckertoTrucker.com, this process becomes much simpler. This website is a popular resource for truckers and those interested in the transportation industry, which offers listings from individual truckers and also dealers.

Keep the Fuel Flowing

Filters For Trucks

While a semi-truck requires some specialized knowledge and know-how if you’re going to keep it running well, the trick to having a long lasting semi-truck are rather simple. In fact, one of those tricks is simply being sure to keep up with scheduled maintenance and the replacement of disposable filters for trucks.

The fuel filter is an important example of one of those parts. Fuel filters protect fuel injectors, a component that works rather like the heart in the human body, pushing the life force—fuel in this case—to the other components that will use it. Long trips take a toll on injectors, as they are constantly working metering fuel. Other than the injector, Diesel injection systems consist of a variety of parts that must fit to together with precise tightness or risk malfunctioning. Fuel injector systems not only keep the truck going, but they also play a vital role in keeping fuel and engines clean, as well as having an environmental impact.

In order to keep parts like the fuel injector and fuel transfer pipe safe from corrupting materials, like water, a fuel filtration system is used. By placing a screen made of a sturdy material in the line from the tank to the pump, harmful contaminants can be caught much more easily. Many filtration systems even use two filters, a wider one and a finer one, in order to catch contaminants. Some are even designed to protect against water.

Changing the fuel filter, then, is an important part of semi-truck maintenance. While different types of semi-trucks require different amounts of filter changes, it is important to routinely change your filter no matter what you drive. If you don’t the filter could become clogged, loosing its positive affects.

One important name in filters is Fleetguard, or Cummins Filtration, which has been making filter products since the mid-1900s. The leading manufacturer of filtration products and exhaust systems for heavy-duty trucks, Cummins Filtration sets standards for quality and customer service by producing top-of-the-line parts and allowing customers to access orders online. With easy access to top-of-the-line products, truckers should find changing their fuel filter easier than ever.

Although it’s just s simple step in semi-truck maintenance, changing the fuel filter can keep your truck going for longer, and with quality and easy to access filters from Cummins Filtration, it will be easier than ever for you to keep your truck maintained and ready for the road.

Looking Good on the Road

January 26, 2009 · Posted in trucking products · Comment

Travel Grooming

Are you looking to look your best while on the road? If the answer is yes, then Global Trucker is the place for you. The online shopping mall has tons of 12-volt grooming products designed for men and women who want to look their best while traveling across the country.

For most people, hair care is an important part of their personal grooming regimen. You know that messy hair can be frustrating, whether you’re driving a truck all day or going on a family vacation. In addition, travel isn’t necessarily the best method to keep hair looking top-notch. Instead, leaning back on the seat can mat hair while wind through the cab doors can whip it. Quick showers in truck stops are also far from a way to make sure you’re hair is always looking best.

That’s why Global Trucker has a whole line of electric hair products just waiting to be used by today’s stylish truckers. For instance, the RoadPro hairdryer has a foldable handle that makes it perfect for storage, in addition to its powerful air stream, which is perfect for drying wet hair quickly, an advantage in colder months. In addition, the company claims the hairdryer has another function for truck drivers; it defrosts windows. With a 90 day warranty and an eight inch power cord, this hair dryer is sure to take away the sting of cold hair and frosty windows.

In addition to the hair dryer, Global Trucker’s other hot ticket hair care item is the curling iron, which comes in a variety of different designs from quite a few manufacturers. For instance, the web site Con Air, Marine Pro, and RoadPro models. Plugging into the cigarette lighter, these curling irons are ready to go for looking good on the go.

While hair care may be an important part of personal grooming, shaving is another daily routine that many men have to do before they will be seen each day. Lucky for them, Global Trucker’s electric shavers can be recharged for use without batteries. In addition, the Wind and Go model allows truckers to simply wind a handle on the back of their razor to power it for shaving.

Whether you like to look your best whenever you’re traveling, or you have someone to impress, looking great on the road has never been easier due to the 12-volt and non-electric products featured on Global Trucker’s web site.

Open Up The Windows

January 19, 2009 · Posted in trucking products · Comment

Truck Screens

Whether you’re indoors or sitting in your cab, spending hours in stale air is no fun. Even if they have heat and central air, most people prefer to leave the window open in their cars and homes during the cool fall and spring months, and sometimes on mild summer nights. Not only can an open window help regulate the temperature to its most natural feel, but also the sounds and smells of the night air can be comforting when on a long ride. Keeping the window open is also a safety tactic, as you’re more likely to hear oncoming traffic or weather programs than if it’s shut and you’re traveling with a loud radio, CD player, DVD player, or other noise making device.

But keeping the window open while you drive can also have a variety of unfortunate side effects. The force of the wind can be too strong, blowing through your hair and scattering your important papers and logbook pages throughout your cab. Rain, stones, and other elements can come in, and you might even have bugs flying around your cab. Some suggest that an open window can decrease fuel mileage, although the popular televisions show Mythbusters claims they’ve busted the myth. But the fact that an accidentally open window at a truck stop can encourage theft is no myth at all.

That’s where the Breezeway screen comes in. Breezeway truck screens snugly fit in your cab window to give you all of the benefits of having the window open without all of the disadvantages. Not only can the truck screen end nuisances, such as bugs flying into your cab, but it can also help you save money. With the security and temperature control provided by the screen, truckers can sleep with their windows open at night, therefore reducing the need to idle. Reducing idling times cuts back on fuel costs and helps truckers meet environmental and local standards, saving money both on diesel and on penalty tickets. In fact, the company’s web site suggests that the screen pays for itself in just one day.

Unique in its design, this truck screen performs much differently than the typical window screens that most have in their homes. As it is formatted for the road, this screen is built to keep the noise, vibrations, and fumes of the road outside, allowing you peace of mind inside. Driving with the window open without a screen can pose serious health risks for those driving down busy highways caked with drivers that are emitting toxic carbon monoxide and other air pollutants. By purchasing a Breezeway screen, you’ll be saving your lungs from having to endure the toxic stink of road fumes.

For only $33 for a pair, truckers can easily invest in the screens, fitting both windows so that they can enjoy maximum airflow with minimum discomfort. With two sizes available, the truck screens are fitted for most U.S. class seven and eight trucks. Makes such as Freightliner, Century, International, Kenworth, and Peterbilt are represented.

Whether you’re looking to save the cost of dragging or wanting to spend a cool night with the windows open and the engine off, Breezeway screens are excellent investments that allow truckers to save both money and time spent in an uncomfortable environment. While not all truckers can afford to purchase the luxury items that some truckers use, most can afford the screens. Screens are available for purchase online via the Trucker’s Mall.

Smooth Out Your Ride

Custom Seat Cushions

Can you put a price on comfort? Well, AirHawk did, and it’s less than $100. Truckers sit for long periods of the day, and while this might seem comfortable to someone who works in construction or standing for long periods of time, it can actually be quite stressful.

The AirHawk Comfort Seating System uses dry floatation technology to reduce stress and increase comfort for the driver. By using this technology that has been a part of the medical world for years, AirHawk ensures that truckers will have a comfortable ride on their custom seat cushions.

Traditional vehicle seats are stable, meaning that pressure is increasingly placed on the trucker’s spine. With the Dry Floatation technology, air can be transferred from one chamber to another, which distributes the pressure from a trucker’s weight evenly, instead of concentrating on one area.

The technology increases blood flow, absorbs shock, and adjusts to the shape of the trucker instead of forcing a trucker to inadequately adjust to a vehicle seat. Truckers can easily install the custom seat cushions into any vehicle. They can blow it up themselves, and easily move the custom seat cushion cushion from vehicle to vehicle.

Because it is inflatable, some may worry that it can be easily damaged. In the rare event of damage, however, AirHawk includes a repair kit that can easily patch any punctured areas. Also, the one-year limited warranty allows truckers to be sure that they’re getting a quality product. And because the comfort seating is made of polyvinyl it is easy to clean and dry if it gets dirty or wet.

For truckers that spend long amounts of time driving, the AirHawk Pro Comfort Seating is the perfect system to reduce pressure on the back and make driving a little easier again. You can now purchase one for under $100.00.

Prevent Cargo Theft

Cargo Transportation Security

When you’re on the road, you have a lot to think about. From directions to filling out logbooks to the price of diesel and the price of your lunch, taking care of business on the road is no easy task. With all of the worries you must already address, you don’t want to be stuck with the fear of loosing your cargo on top of your day-to-day stress.

War-Lok makes sure you wont’ have to. The cargo transportation security lock system that everyone is taking about, War-Lok is easy to use, relatively inexpensive, and guaranteed to protect your cargo—literally.

In addition, the components of War-Lok are built road ready, prepared to stand up to the tough conditions of many miles traveled down the rough road. This system, along with the insurance policy, is offered to truckers at the low price of $236.63.

According to the War-Lok’s advertisers, cargo transportation security systems are needed more than ever in this country. Not only does truck theft result in $25 billion in losses each year, but also recuperating from a truck theft can be time and money consuming. Truckers can’t get back on the road; they may have to buy a new truck; they may loose their jobs; they may be out of work for several weeks or months.

For these reasons, truckers need to ensure that their truckers are protected. For an investment of less than $300 for the War-Lok, truckers can prevent the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars, along with their livelihoods. Truckers can learn more about the War-Lok by visiting RoadTrucker.

Stick Up Your Phone

January 12, 2009 · Posted in trucking products · Comment

Magnet Phone Holder

You’ve probably seen them near the check out counter at your favorite truck stop next to the king size candy bars and stuffed toys. But magnet phone holders aren’t simply impulse items that truck stop managers use to try to drive up their sales. Instead, magnet holders are smart, non-invasive ways of keeping cell phones and other electronics within arm’s reach.

The magnet holder sticks easily to the dashboard of any truck or personal vehicle via a mounting strip that is already affixed to the back of the magnet. All the trucker has to do is clean off the dashboard area of your truck and stick the magnet in place. Some brands even provide wet wipes to make the process even easier.

Using the same type of adhesive that is located on the back of the magnet phone holder, truckers stick a small, metal disk to the back of their cell phones. Because the disk is attached using the same type of adhesive that makes the magnet so non-invasive, it is easy to remove from your phone if you decide to stop using the magnet holder, but does not fall of on its own. Then, simply apply the metal disk to the magnet, and you have a strong, foolproof cell phone holder.

Instead of fiddling throughout your cab to look for your cell phone when you hear it ring, or if you need to make a call, the magnet holder makes grabbing that phone simple and easy. Not only will you save yourself some frustration as you simply reach for your dashboard to pick up the phone, but you’ll stop missing calls and you’ll drive safer, keeping your eyes on the road.

Not only does the cell phone holder make driving with a cell phone easier than ever, but also the same holder can be used with your Ipod. Simply attach the metal disk to your Ipod, and you have a custom Ipod holder. This way, you can toggle between songs without ever taking your eyes off the road.

Available at almost every truck stop, the holder can also be found at many online shops like TangShop, Ebay or Amazon . Priced around $5-$7, these holders are a fast, easy, and cheap way to get more organized. And your friends and family will thank you for the lack of missed calls.

Make Your Bed the Hot Spot

January 7, 2009 · Posted in Uncategorized, trucking products · Comment

Electric Fleece Blanket

While you might be trying to pretend that winter is just beginning, the burst of cold weather across the states is enough to convince many that winter is actually here, and this year, it’s going to be a cold one.

It’s hard to concentrate when you’re cold. It’s also hard to get a good sleep. In fact, being cold can put a damper on an otherwise good day or event—like the time you finally get tickets to a Superbowl game, only to be too cold to actually enjoy yourself.

Although most truck models are fitted with heaters that can make the cold vanish quite quickly, and a variety of additional heaters can be powered by the vehicle’s cigarette lighter, attempts to save energy while the truck is parked may not allow you to take full advantage of these resources. In addition, sometimes you just want a nice, warm bed to help you unwind after a hard day.

As the temperatures continue to drop, you’ll probably begin to look forward to crawling into your warm bunk even more than you do now. And with 12-volt electric heating blankets, that warm bed can be even sweeter.

The RoadPro 12-volt 58” by 42.5” fleece electronic blanket can make even the coldest nights warm. Made out of 100 percent polar fleece, this blanket is both warm and comfortable for any sleeper, and for under $40, the blanket makes a great gift—for yourself or for someone else.

An eight foot power cord, low amp draw, and easy storage make this blanket perfect for the trucker or traveler. The cord leaves enough room to easily reach your bunk, and the storage bag, included with the purchase, keeps your electric fleece blanket from getting dirty or wet as the trucker carries out his duties.
