Hello everyone,
I’ve been doing some research lately, and I’m curious about something. Why is it that semi-truck covers seem to be so hard to find for sale online? It seems like such a basic product, yet I often struggle to find options that meet my needs.
Are there specific reasons you think contribute to this issue? Is it the demand, the availability of manufacturers, or something else?
Additionally, I’d love to hear from other truckers in the community. What other products do you find challenging to locate for semi-trucks? Whether it's accessories, tools, or any specific gear, let’s share our experiences and see if we can help each other out!
Looking forward to your thoughts!
Best,
Simo Elfakkak

This gap in the market is intriguing to me. It makes me wonder if it’s due to limited demand, the unique specifications of semi-trucks, or perhaps a lack of manufacturers focusing on this niche.
I’d love to hear from fellow truckers about other products you find difficult to locate as well. Whether it's accessories, tools, or gear, your experiences can help shape the products we need in this industry!
Looking forward to your thoughts! -
I don’t know. I’ve never looked for one. Umm what’s a semi truck cover?

So you're not an owner operator. You're just here to spam the board.

To answer the question: because there is little, if any market for truck covers...
And yes you are spammingArctic_fox Thanks this. -
If there was a market for truck covers you’d already see them for sale.

I'm not going to go in circles, here is the problem with chasing this idea;
Trucks are tools; they are supposed to be tools. No one is going to cover a tool.
About 0.001% of the trucks on the road are 'show trucks', which means that they are working 'show trucks' and the owners are fanatic about the care and appearance of the truck. I have seen men, grown men almost come to tears because they went through a bug swarm and had to clean off the truck with microfiber rags and special bug solution because they were in love with a tool.
Those off the road and classified as collector trucks are a different story and that may be your target market.blairandgretchen, Gearjammin' Penguin, OldMainiac and 3 others Thank this. -
Trucks get used. Daily.
Cars and rvs. Don't.blairandgretchen Thanks this.
