Christmas is the time for giving, we all know that. However, when you have a truck driver in your life it can be difficult to know the perfect gift to get them, especially if you’re not used to life on the road. No fear, we’ve written this blog to help. Here you’ll find a collection of some great gift ideas that will be the perfect fit for your truck driver.
Rivbos Sunglasses
Did you know that there were glasses specifically designed for truck drivers? RIVBOS Polarized sunglasses are a perfect choice for anyone who regularly drives long distances. The frames are made of high quality TR90 material, which is unbreakable. With the ability to withstand more than 500 pounds of pressure per square inch, you can be sure that they will be protecting your eyes for years to come. Plus, the lenses are polarized to reduce glare and improve visibility. This means you will have an easier time seeing during any time of day. They even have a pair featuring yellow lenses to help increase your visibility while on the road at night. Sunglasses – $21.98
Weighted Blankets
We all have trouble sleeping when we’re not in our own bed. It’s natural. What if we told you there’s a secret hack that can assure you the same night’s rest anywhere? Using a weighted blanket can help you relax by applying subtle pressure on your body while you’re lying down. Weighted blankets are popular among people dealing with anxiety and general stress because of the negative effects dealing with such feelings can reap on the body. The coolest part? It’s scientifically proven. The pressure helps to regulate your cortisol levels and release feel-good hormones like endorphins, the same compounds released when we receive a hug. This can help to ease tension and make you feel more relaxed overall, leading to a restful night’s sleep. Blanket – $69
A Secret Safe
Many truck drivers have been victims of thefts while out on the open road. These thefts can include items such as tools, food, and any other valuable items a driver may have. To prevent their valuables from being stolen, many truck drivers have a safe. Disguised as a book, this can be locked shut and requires a code or keys to open. The safe is small enough that it will not take up much room in the truck’s cab and will remain hidden either from view or in plain sight. The safe contains a space for money and with the addition of a fire safe envelope you’ll have the driver in your life set up and secure in no time. Safe – $19.99
Seat Cushion
When driving long distances, particularly in a truck, it’s important to have a seat cushion. Long distance truck drivers often don’t have a lot of time to stop and rest. The driver must be able to remain alert and in a comfortable position while driving. Truckers can take comfort in knowing that their seat cushion was made to alleviate any aches or pains sustained during their travels. Truck drivers can be sure that the cushion will provide them with back support and is designed for maximum comfort during long drives. A seat cushion is easy to clean, affordable, and perfect for any long haul trucker who wants to feel comfortable on his or her next journey. Cushion – $51

Truck drivers know all too well just how hard it can be to get a really good look at something under the hood, this light saves the day by bending into those hard to reach places and illuminate everything you need to see. Beyond this, it’s magnetic. How many times have we dropped a screw, nut, bold, or heck anything metal and needed an extra hand finding it? Worry no more, now you can pull any lost object out of the abyss and back into your life. A true life saver when it comes to those hardest to reach places! Here – $22.99
A Perfect Pair
If you’re a trucker, you already know how important it is to be able to eat healthy and nutritious meals while on the road.
