Being on the road for extended periods of time can be difficult for truckers, but there are many gadgets out there to make life on the road easier. With Father’s Day right around the corner, see our list for gifting inspiration that may come in handy to the truck driver in your life. From safety purposes and meal preparation to health and convenience, these items will make trips over the road more enjoyable!
- Portable Food Heater: This is a fantastic investment for someone who is on the road but would still like to enjoy a warm meal away from home (even if it is a frozen TV dinner). First and foremost you can ensure that your meal is safe to heat if it has been heated through properly. You will also have flexibility in food choices, so you are not just limited to cold sandwiches and snacks. By having more options, means you can also maintain a healthier diet while being away from home. A portable oven is a versatile tool that can save you time, money, and help maintain a healthy diet.
- Portable Blender: Compact and lightweight, this gadget will make it convenient to create nutritious shakes and smoothies while on the road. By having a portable blender you can simply ensure that you’re consuming enough fruit and vegetables while being on the road.
- Travel Slow Cooker: If you are tired of constantly eating out consider purchasing a slow cooker as they are easy to use and clean. Just purchase ingredients at a grocery store (which will be cheaper than eating out). And prepare your meals in the truck. A slower cooker can create a wide variety of meals from breakfast to dinner, and of course dessert!
- Thermos: While most truckers already have a thermos it doesn’t hurt that we put it on our list as a must-have. The main function of a thermos is to retain the temperature of not only beverages but also food for hours at a time (both hot and cold), but do not forget that it is also cost-effective to have one of these on you as you will not have to purchase drinks or food on the go.
- Insulated Lunch Box: An insulated lunch box is great for temperature control to keep your meals at a safe temperature. It is also convenient to have something prepared and ready to eat with you in the cabin.
- Fleet Safety Kits: Unfortunately, accidents happen but you can at least be somewhat prepared with a safety kit specifically made for you and your truck. A kit with warning triangles, a fire extinguisher, and hold-down straps can come in handy in different emergency instances.
- First Aid Kits: First aid kits are great to have in the cabin for instance from treating cuts to alleviating a headache, this is a beneficial tool to have.
These items are game changers. We hope this list was helpful and for everyone to enjoy Father’s Day!
