I was unaware that this site existed: www.bettertruckcare.com



An interesting spin-off.

:cool:



But, it`s an exact copy as Autopia. Is this sponsored by TPS, ACC? If not, aren`t there copyright issues involved?

At the bottom it says powered by "Not A Moment Too Soon LLC"

And the "about us" is written by Jerod Watson, owner of the site.

I didn`t see their location listed anywhere.

They carry Sonus, so maybe they have a vendor agreement with TPS?

I`m not sure, but this guy sure is trying to plug it on a truck site I visit. Yet he says he just got his PC.

i noticed the same thing about the copyrights and the companies.



and the how-to article on the porter cable is pretty much the same one found here in the `learn` section and on the bettercarcare.com site, except a few words (truck instead of car) and a few pictures were taken out (the ones of cars).



maybe someone should ask DavidB about this?

Well, they have the same phone number, so I figure they are associated.



As far as I can tell, the guy isn`t a sponsor of the other site, and is on the verge of spamming. Not what I would expect of someone or something associated with David.

Not to get controversial, but wasn`t one of David`s employees known for registering on random car sites to plug Autopia? I remember something about it a while back... :nixweiss



Edit: just noticed their e-mail is the same also. Support@theperfectshine.com

Yeah, I wonder if jonw440 is the same as Jerod Watson?

They are the same how to`s including some of the pics.

Yep, they are no doubt sister sites.

Better Truck Care was licensed by Jerod Watson who has since opted not to be in the business. It is in the process of being pulled back into TPS. No relation to jonw440.



We are looking for a new store owner.

Okay, that makes much more sense. Thanks for the explanation, DavidB!!
