6 of the Best Trucking Accessories to Improve Comfort on the Road

trucking accessories

The truck driver lifestyle is full of one-of-a-kind perks and excitement you won’t find anywhere else. The self-driven structure of your day-to-day schedule, the picturesque views you’ll see on the road each day; these are things you just can’t find behind a desk. 

However, with all the time you’ll spend behind the wheel of your truck, it’s important to make sure that you’re comfortable. With that in mind, here are some of the best trucking accessories to help you make truck driver comfort a priority:

Truck Seat Cushions

No matter how much someone loves traveling (and honestly, what’s not to love?), spending most of the day driving can be physically taxing. And even the most ergonomic chairs can lose their luster after enough time. So what can you do to maximize truck driver comfort on even the longest of drives? Pick up a truck seat cushion.

These cushions come in just about every shape and size, so take some time to find one that supports you the way you want to be supported. Does your back get stiff? Find a cushion that offers extra support along the back. Is your tailbone sore at the end of the day? Then a cushion with extra padding can help improve your posture and lower the stress on your tailbone.

Trucking accessories like these come in a variety of materials (like memory foam, for example), so you shouldn’t have much trouble finding one that’ll fit your needs. 

Truck Seat Organizer

Your truck cabin is your home base, in a way, so it makes sense that you outfit it with the kind of gadgets and trucking accessories that you’ll want within reaching distance. But what happens if you start running out of space for your things? Or, more accurately, you don’t have the storage space for your things?

It’s possible to keep things in a glovebox, of course, but then it’s not easily accessible, so that’s not an ideal solution. This is where a truck seat organizer comes onto the scene. This trucking accessory will easily hang off the back of the passenger or driver’s chair and hold all of your loose items in a single location. Things like sunglasses, books, pens, headphones, maps, paperwork, gloves, and more can be consolidated together in a way that keeps them close by without cluttering your cabin.

Mini-Fridge

The truck driver lifestyle means you’re spending a good chunk of your day on the road. And when you spend the better part of your day behind the wheel, you’re going to want access to some food. Sure, fast food is always an option, but not the best one, especially when you’re trying to stick to a healthy trucker lifestyle.

A mini-fridge is one of the best truck accessories, hands down, and all of Lily’s over-the-road drivers have one in their truck. We want our drivers to have a comfortable and healthy lifestyle while in the truck, and having a fridge supports healthy eating habits by allowing drivers to keep lunches, snacks (like fruit, veggies, yogurt, etc.), and water bottles fresh and cool all day long. 

Dashboard Mounts

Whether it’s for your phone, tablet, or GPS, having a dashboard mount for your cab can go a long way toward improving truck driver comfort. These simple trucking accessories help you keep your hands and attention focused on driving, but also make it easy to keep an eye on what’s happening, so you always know if there’s traffic or bad weather on the horizon.

Jackets

It’s cold in the winter, and even with the heater in your truck cabin, you’ll inevitably have to spend at least a little bit of time outside. Instead of dealing with the elements on your own, it’s always a good idea to have a nice, comfortable jacket with you. 

This is as much a trucking accessory as it is one of the most essential truck driver must-haves, which is why Lily Transportation provides winter coats with reflective materials on them to our drivers. We want you to be safe, warm, and as comfortable as possible when you’re on the road, and we’re always looking for new ways to promote truck driver comfort and wellness.
