Whether you’re new to truck driving or a seasoned driver, you might want to upgrade your cab with some of our favorite accessories for making life on the road easier, safer, and more comfortable.
Whether you’re keeping your cab cool in the summer, giving yourself some privacy, or blocking out lights at a truck stop, a sun shield is one of the best truck accessories you can buy. Make sure to measure your windshield to make sure the one you get fits your truck.
When you spend your entire work day sitting in a vehicle, comfort is a top priority. A premium seat cushion can help prevent or reduce the numbness and fatigue that can happen when you’re sitting all day long. Reduce discomfort when you use a seat cushion to help promote proper blood flow.
Are you tired of never being able to find a pen or an extra pair of sunglasses? It’s easy for your front passenger seat to get overcrowded and messy. But you can stay organized and keep all the essentials within safe reach with this seat organizer.
Keeping your cab clean is always a challenge, but if you have a waterproof trash can to corral all your garbage it makes it easy to maintain a tidy workspace. Making sure the trash can you choose is waterproof is key. You don’t want coffee drips or the dregs of a milkshake to ruin the interior of your cab.
A windshield cell phone mount can help you be a safer driver. Take calls hands-free or read navigation directions without having to fish for your phone or take your eyes off the road. These mounts keep your phone in your line of sight so you can easily and safely read the screen as needed.
It can be tough to eat healthy on the road, but with a mini fridge that fits in your cab and has an AC adapter, you can keep fresh fruits and veggies on hand and chilled. Deli meats, beverages, and even ice cream will stay cold and available for those days when fast food won’t cut it.
You can’t watch TV while you’re driving a semi, but long nights on the road don’t have to be boring either. Use a portable TV antenna to get live, local TV within about 50 miles of your location. Unwind and give yourself something other than the road to focus on after a long day of driving.
Driving OTR can sometimes mean that you start the day in freezing cold temperatures and end the day in a desert. An electric blanket like this one can make your drive or your night much more comfortable. And comforting heat can offer relief for any back or neck pain from driving all day.
