Editorial Policy

☕ 3 min read·566 words

I started Truck Gear Hub after watching my brother waste $200 on a so-called “heavy-duty” winch that failed mid-rescue when his rig got stuck in a Wyoming mud pit—all because the review he trusted was paid for by the manufacturer. That’s why our editorial independence policy isn’t just fine print; it’s the reason I stay up till 2 a.m. fact-checking gear specs and testing products myself, because I never want another driver to get burned by biased advice that could leave them stranded on the side of the road. When you read our reviews, you’re getting the same no-BS take I’d give my own crew, no strings attached.

Our Promise

Truck Gear Hub is committed to accurate, honest, helpful content. Every article is reviewed by Tom A. Briskman before publication. We do not publish unverified claims, clickbait, or AI-generated content without expert review.

Editorial Principles

1. Accuracy First
We cite primary sources (CDC, NIH, SEC, USDA, manufacturer specs, peer-reviewed studies) and link to them inline. Every statistic has a source.
2. Real Testing
Products are tested in real conditions when possible. We disclose how we test, who tests, and any limitations.
3. No Sponsored Content (Without Disclosure)
We do not accept paid placements that influence our reviews. If a piece is sponsored, we label it clearly at the top of the article.
4. Affiliate Disclosure
We earn commissions from affiliate links (Amazon, etc.) and disclose this on every page. Our editorial recommendations are independent of affiliate relationships.
5. Updates
We update content when information changes. Every article has a "Last updated" date.
6. Corrections
If we make an error, we correct it promptly and note the correction at the bottom of the article.

AI Disclosure

Truck Gear Hub uses AI tools to assist with research and drafting, but every article is reviewed, edited, and approved by a human expert (Tom A. Briskman). AI is a tool — not a replacement for human judgment.

Independence

Our editorial team is independent of our business and affiliate teams. Affiliate revenue does not influence which products or services we recommend.
