Essential Accessories for Your Semi-Truck

The right semi-truck accessories can make your work day safer, more comfortable, and more enjoyable. We recommend the following must-have items.

In the Semi-Truck Cab

Durable Work Gloves

Protect your hands and improve your grip with a pair of sturdy gloves. These come in handy in many situations, from tying down a load to unloading cargo. If your semi-truck route gets cold in the winter, make sure to find a pair with proper insulation.

Sunglasses

It's easy to underestimate the impact of hot sun rays. But it can impair your visibility and make it harder to notice upcoming hazards.

While it's tempting to buy a cheap pair of sunglasses, it's wise to go for quality. Better sunglasses will provide better protection and also reduce eye strain. For all the hours you spend driving a semi-truck, they will be a worthwhile investment.

On the Semi-Truck

Custom Lights

Semi-trucks can be modified with extra lighting. For example, rack lights illuminate the road ahead while runner lights and trailer lights illuminate your semi-truck (providing better visibility when working on your semi-truck at night).

Quality Mirrors

You may want to upgrade your semi-truck mirrors. Convex mirrors, for example, help deliver a wide-scope view and help reduce blind spots.
