Commercial Trucking: Accessories for the Cab

Keeping certain accessories in your commercial truck cab can make your work day easier. We recommend the following items.

A Storage Box

This can be used to keep track of your paperwork, receipts, and other items you collect throughout a trip. When you finish the route, you'll have all of the paperwork neatly organized and ready to file away.

A Coffee Thermos

For those early morning starts, having coffee or tea readily available can make a big difference! A thermos helps keep your beverage warm for long periods of time, so you can enjoy it throughout the day.

Water or a Sports Drink

When you get dehydrated, it can actually impact your ability to focus on the road. Be sure you drink plenty of fluids, whether it's water or an electrolyte drink. Remember that caffeine can also dehydrate you, so be sure to drink lots of water after your morning coffee.

An Emergency Kit

In case of a breakdown or other unforeseen event, it's always good to be prepared. Keep a small kit in your cab with essentials like water, snacks, a first aid kit, and a flashlight.

Healthy Snacks

Sometimes, a commercial trucking route takes you into more rural areas where food stops are fewer and farther in-between. Keeping some snacks on hand helps you fight hunger until the next available meal break. Focus on healthy snacks, like fruits and nuts, that will give you energy without a sugar crash later.
