Listen up everyone-This is a horrible situation, not only for the magazine world, but for 2 great guys who no longer have jobs.Sport Truck was our brother in the mag world and we did our best to help each other out. Unfortunately, the truck community is to blame for this loss. When we, as enthusiasts don't support the mags, this kind of thing happens.Magazines have to make money and if when you're at the grocery store, of Wal-Mart, or the bookstore, and you're not buying one, we all suffer.Don't let our competition fool you, this had nothing to do with them, it had to do with the truck world not buying magazines.  If you have a Sport Truck subscription, you will now receive Truckin'.   For all of you who had your truck shot for Sport Truck as a feature, we at Truckin' are going to do our best to run your truck. Also, for all you go-fast, muscle-truck guys, Truckin' is adding a new performance truck section in 2010 (you'll see it on stands in 2 months).This section will whet your appetite with blown, big-tire, hot-rods with a bed. Also, we will be picking up as much of the Sport Truck project truck tech and build-ups, as Mike with allow This way, you'll still see stories from Calin and Mike.   As for Mike and Andy, no one feels worse than we do. It could have been us. If you love the truck scene and you want to keep it alive and well—do your part!Buy truck magazines.-Dan Ward, Editor Truckin'

Sucks to hear this. People step up and subscribe if you don't already. You can't bet the price for everything they do month to month.

I subscribe to Mini Truckin, Sport Truck, and Street Truck. 

Just subscribe, it comes out to $1.5-2 per issue that wayScrew paying $6 at the checkout line

I've subscribed to all 3 mags but my subscription has recently ran up I will have to do my part and pick up the latest issues and reup my subscription.

i always buy all the truck mags at books a million. hell i get em faster than when i had a subscription. i hate to hear this cuz it was a sweet mag since finnegan took it over

---------------------------------------------Originally posted by bigcuzdave64  Plus when you have three mainstream magazines covering basically the same thing (Truckin', Sport Truck, StreetTrucks), the market seems to get a little saturated with the same stuff over and over. I know that personally, when I get MT and the same rides are featured in another mag, I will pass up the other mag because I have already seen that truck.   ---------------------------------------------that is exactly why I dont buy mags, David hit the nail on the head with that comment

Hey guys,   I personally have a subscription to all of the print mags for this same reason. I see alot of people preaching about subscribing to the magazines that are free members here on SSM. Without gold members, WE will loose our magazine as well, maybe even the site all together. For the first time in SSM history we have been struggling. So if your not a paying member and you have a reason you would like us to address, send me an IM so we can improve. thanks guys
