10 things truck drivers want for Christmas:

  1. 12V Cooler – to help keep their food and drinks cold. 
  2. New seat cushion(s) – with all the driving they do it’s important that they are as comfortable as possible. 
  3. Wireless headphones – these are good when they are exercising during their downtime in between trips. 
  4. Slow cooker – if your trucker is trying to eat healthier on the road and avoid all the fast food stops these are great to have. 
  5. Sunglasses – these are needed at all times of the year, even when the sun is reflecting off of the snow. 
  6. Massage gun – the days are long, and a massage gun can help relax some of those sore muscles. 
  7. Dash cam – you never know when the trucker in your life may need this one, but it’s definitely beneficial to have. 
  8. Playing cards – card games and other portable items are great to have when they have time to chill out with friends. 
  9. Portable mattresses and pillows – these things can wear down quickly depending on use – so new ones are always nice to have. 
  10. New clothing (hats, sweatshirts, t-shirts) – new clothing is always nice to have and comes in handy during the colder months.
