The Best Gifts for Truck Drivers (Review) in 2023 | Autance

This smart-looking tactical wallet is the perfect gift for the outdoor-loving chap who likes to be prepared for pretty much anything while on the road. Not only does this wallet have an RFID blocker to protect up to 12 credit or cash cards, but it also has enough gadgets to impress a Boy Scout. With 14 cool functions built-in, this is an awesome high carbon stainless steel multi-tool. From a mini-saw, knife, ruler, nail pryer, paracord tensioner, even a smartphone stand, this tactical wallet can turn its talents to a host of running repairs. The multi-tool can also be removed from the wallet to be used on its own. Oh, and as one of our best gifts for truck drivers, the wallet is also made of top grain leather, with safety locks to keep everything secure.

Discreet, wireless, and comfortable to wear, the FocusPower mini Bluetooth earbuds will let your trucker rock out to their favorite tunes straight from their smartphone. We really like the battery life in these mini earphones, which the makers claim is around 1.5 times more than other similar products. You’ll need to manage the volume to get the most out of their juice but there’s enough power to get you through a day’s journey. Ergonomically designed, they are kind on your ears too, meaning that they fit securely without added pressure. For around $20, these earbuds are great value and will make awesome stocking filler gifts for truck drivers.

If your trucker sits for long periods and complains of a numb butt, then check out this gel memory foam cushion from ComfiLife. With a non-slip rubber bottom and built-in handle, it’s designed for life on the road and provides superior comfort and support during extended journeys. We really like the way it contours to an individual fit and is ergonomically designed to support the tailbone, promoting a healthy posture when seated. It also provides relief if back pain and sciatica are an issue. Plus, there’s a removable cover for super-easy cleaning. This is one of those Christmas gifts for truck drivers they will wonder how they lived without!

Eating on the move can be made easier with this cool multi-tool that’s both durable and lightweight. With its clever spoon and fork combo, you also get a bottle opener as well as a hex screwdriver and wrench to boot. And all for around ten bucks — what’s not to love! Buy this for your trucker, and they can keep it with them wherever they go, thanks to the sturdy carabiner that easily snaps onto a belt or rucksack. Ok, the fork prongs are on the small side, but as a scoop and eat this spork multi-tool works really well. A nice little gift to tuck into your trucker’s stocking.

The Garmin dezl OTR800 8-inch GPS Truck Navigator features an eight-inch touchscreen and displays information in either landscape or portrait mode. In some areas, you can enter a rig’s height, length, width, and weight to locate routes that are better suited for trucks and their loads. The device also features routes that are popular among truckers as well as load-to-dock guidance, which displays loading zones and storage lots. This truck-centered GPS also points out truck-friendly parking areas and rest stops through its Truck & Trailer Services directory and issues alerts regarding bridge heights, sharp curves, and steep grades. Users like having the arrival time, distance to stops, and other information at a glance. There are several mounting options, wireless updates, and a voice assistant to promote hands-free driving. While it’s a great device, one complaint is that there’s a lag when switching screens or menus. Also, the suction mount isn’t the best, and not to mention a little pricey.

To keep all your trucker’s tech powered when they’re on the road, this multi-port power inverter from Bestek could very well be the juicer go-to. This little powerhouse provides 200 watts of continuous DC to AC power, ideal for charging multiple electronic devices from the 12-volt outlet in most vehicles. You get three AC outlets and four USB ports, so this is perfect for re-juicing smartphones, GPS units, laptops, and tablets when out on the road. There’s also a built-in fuse and cooling fan to keep your tech protected. Comes with a 2.5-foot cigarette lighter plug cable so you can keep your devices neatly out of the way when you charge. Plus, there’s an 18-month warranty. Not suitable for high-power items.

Treat your trucker to the ultimate in-cab radio system with the Sirius XM satellite radio plus installation kit and you’ll go to the top of their favorite person list! With commercial-free radio, they can choose from sport, news, and entertainment as well as their favorite music genre — all perfect for whiling away hours on the road. You also get a three months’ free subscription to the streaming service, but you’ll then need to set up a monthly subscription. However, you do get to customize your own radio channel with all your personal favorites. With an easy to set up the system, you can stream your Sirius through the radio in the truck’s cabin for instant use. Perfect for life on the road, the Sirius XM gives one-touch access to real-time traffic updates wherever you are. And if your trucker misses anything, they can simply pause, rewind or replay for up to 30 minutes. We think this is one of the best Christmas gifts for truck drivers who have everything. Well, almost everything.

If your trucker has to spend time overnight in their cab, then why not upgrade their sleeping arrangements with this super-comfy memory foam mattress from Mobile Innerspace. Designed specifically by professional drivers for truck or camper sleeping, this mattress comes rolled compressed so that it can be undone, expanded, and fitted onto the sleeper berth in minutes. The old-school grey check reminds you of the comforts of home and the memory foam means a good night’s sleep or day rest is on the cards.  Plus, you get a 30-day sleep guarantee so if the ZZZs don’t come your way, you can send it back. Rest assured, we think this is one of the more unusual gifts for truckers that will be greatly welcomed!

Every truck cabin should have one, so why not make this first aid kit from Surviveware a stocking-stuffer pick? This kit has been built to last, thanks to its waterproof 600D polyester bag with a carry handle and robust zips, while inside you get 100 essential first aid items, each clearly labeled for its function.

The whole kit has also been FDA approved so totally safe to use and all the internal items are protected from the elements, thanks to zip-top laminate bags, each one organized by category.

The Rexing V1LG Dual Channel Dash Cam is designed for a variety of vehicles, including trucks. The rear camera records in 720p resolution, while the front camera records in 1080p HD. Users report that the image quality on the front camera in particular is quite good and picks up small details. The device features built-in GPS, so you can log information such as time, date, location, and speed. The dashcam also has loop recording, which overwrites older video if the memory card fills up. In addition, it locks video and protects it if detects a collision, so it will not be erased. Overall, it’s easy to set up, the GPS is very responsive, and it’s a great training tool. Two downsides are you may need to update the memory card to hold more data, and it doesn’t have WiFi capability.

Every trucker needs a go-to cap and with this looker from Under Armour, they’ll be in for a cool headgear ride. Made from 100% polyester, the structure and design of the Blitzing Trucker 3.0 makes it both stylish and practical to wear. The fit has a pre-curved visor to protect the eyes from road glare and side and back mesh panels to keep the head well ventilated. Inside you get a built-in sweatband to wick away sweat to keep you looking and feeling trucker cool, while the back strap is fully adjustable. The overall design is structured and modern, with a slightly higher crown for an up-to-date fit.

Pop your Kabana wallet in your jeans’ pocket and secure to your belt loop with the chain and you are away!
