The 13 Best Christmas Gift Ideas for Truckers
Some of the best gifts for truck drivers are accessories that help make their job easier.
Truckers spend hours on end sitting in a single spot while dealing with the stresses of modern day driving.
The best stocking stuffers and Christmas gifts are items that make life just a little easier on the road.
Here's a roundup of some of the best trucker gift ideas that focus on utility and comfort.
#1. Rear-View Backup Cameras
If there’s one thing a trucker can always use, it’s more visibility. Backup camera kits with mounting accessories make for exceptional holiday gifts.
Some commercial camera systems allow for multiple cam hookups. If they need a compatible backup camera for their rig, buy them a spare one as a single unit.
Find limited-time deals from Falcon Electronics, featuring wired wide-angle license plate back-up cameras with LCD screen.
#2. Noise Cancelling Headphones
Aside from a CB radio and microphone, a set of Bluetooth headphones can level-up any trucker’s driving experience.
If you're looking for a premium gift that's $250 and above, bluetooth headphones are a perfect pick. This set features:
- Advanced noise cancellation (blocks 96% of background noise)
- Up to 24 hours of talk time
- Voice-controlled, hands-free calls
- Quick control settings to customize features
- Lightweight and spill-resistant design
Comfortable to wear. Reliable bluetooth connectivity. What's not to like?
#3. Smart Phone Mount
Small, simple, and affordable. These phone mount accessories do the trick.
A standard phone mount is an excellent stocking stuffer during the holiday season, or during a birthday.
Drivers heavily rely on GPS apps, digital logs, and dispatch calls. One of the best interior accessory gifts you can get is a smartphone dash mount for hands-free viewing without distractions.
#4. Extra Storage Drawers
For any trucker, storage is an absolute necessity. It makes life on the road that much easier.
The Kubby Buddy system is a sleek, yet spacious heavy-duty drawer designed to help truckers organize their tools and in-cab essentials.
5.5-inches tall, 11 inches wide, and 24.25 inches deep, this drawer fits snugly into your cab and allows for extra storage.
#5. Seat Cushion for Lumbar Support
Think of the seat cushion (and the seat itself) as an investment in a truck driver's health. After all, some truckers find themselves sitting for 14 hours a day.
AirHawk's seat cushions incorporate patented Air Cell Technology that automatically adapts to the contour of the sit bones, distributing weight evenly to relieve back pressure or tailbone discomfort.
#6. Slip-On Mattress Protector Cover
Size: 42 x 80 x 10.5 inches
Affordable, easy to wash, and an excellent Christmas gift for any hard-working trucker, Jakes Cab Solutions offers a high-quality mattress pad that adds extra cushion comfort and spill/stain protection to their base mattress.
These are available for International, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Mack, and Volvo models and will fit over most 80-inch long truck mattresses.
Buy gifts for under $45, and bundle your new mattress pad together with additional comfort-enhancing accessories:
- Pillow protectors
- Bed sheets
- Privacy curtains
- Back of seat organizer kits.
#7. Portable Slow Cooker
Home-cooked meals are a luxury for most drivers.
This 12V portable slow cooker plugs directly into your cab’s power outlet and lets you warm up homestyle cooked meals with ease.
#8. Portable Plug-in Refrigerator
Need to keep your drinks cold in the summer and hot in the winter? This portable cooler is a game-changing accessory for truckers. It's slender design makes it easier for storage and handling in limited cab space.
If you're looking to up your budget, go with a premium Portable CoolBox Thermoelectric Plug-in Cooler from United Pacific.
Either way, interior plug-and-play accessories are a great way to build healthier eating habits on the road.
#9. No-Spill Tumbler Mug
A 30oz, spill-proof, zero-BPA beverage holder is a great gift that'll help keep the trucker in your life hydrated.
It features a anti-corrosive material with a vacuum insulated interior.
A high-quality, no-spill tumbler with good insulation will help keep your drinks hot or cold for hours on end.
#10. 12V Mounted Fan
Small, portable, and easy to mount, 12V mounted fans are a great accessory to throw onto your rig.
It demands very little power to run and it's easy to store.
#11. Hub Cover Kits and Nut Bolt Covers
Wheel covers and nut bolt covers are incredibly affordable, well-designed stocking stuffers to get for any professional trucker.
They serve to add that little bit of extra flair and style to the exterior of the truck while adding that small bit of personality too.
#12. Power Inverter to Charge Appliances
Inverters are a more expensive gift, for sure. But they're incredibly useful to drivers who need to charge and power-up their electronics: laptops, fridges, microwaves, and more. Choosing the right power inverter, requires a bit of foreknowledge.
Before you buy one on their behalf, ask them about the specs they need. If the inverter is too small, it can overload.
Instead, you can opt for a smaller electronic gift that serves as a wonderful alternative: a backup battery charger with a USB insert.
#13. LED Lighting Accessories
Sure, you don't immediately think of semi truck cab lights as cheap stocking stuffers.
However, interior LED lighting accessories can be insanely affordable, and a cool accessory to help personalize your cab space too.
Not all lights are for looks, emergency strobe lights are a must-have item to store on a driver's rig.
Both of these come in at UNDER $24!
