Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: October 2026

pathtotrucking participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click certain links on this site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you.

Path to Trucking is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

What This Means

An affiliate link is a tracked URL that credits this site when a purchase is made after clicking it. The price you pay is identical to what you'd pay going directly to the retailer's website.

Which Links Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are clearly marked on product pages and resource listings with the label "affiliate link." Links that redirect through /go/ are always affiliate links.

Our Recommendation Standards

We only recommend products and services that we have personally used or that come highly recommended by other experienced drivers. Affiliate relationships do not influence which products we feature — we will not recommend something we think is bad just because it pays a commission.

If we tried something and didn't like it, we say so — or we simply don't feature it.

Research-Based Gear Reviews

Some gear pages are labeled research-based reviews. These are built from manufacturer specs, retailer listings, trade write-ups and what owners say publicly, with sources and dates listed on the page. We have not tested those products ourselves, and each page says so. Prices and availability change, so check the retailer before you buy. See the gear page.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose our affiliate relationships clearly on all relevant pages.

Questions?

If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or want to know whether a specific product recommendation is compensated, get in touch.
