Best Gifts for Truck Drivers: Give the Perfect Gift for Long Hauls

This is a practical gift for a trucker who needs a comfortable place to sleep while on the road. This seven-inch-thick, high-density foam mattress is designed to fit in a truck cab. It is 32 by 79 inches long and comes in gray/white and navy blue with a stain-resistant cover.

The mattress provides great support and weight distribution for a good night's sleep. The color also makes it an attractive addition to a truck cab. The mattress is shipped compressed and rolled up in a box. It expands to 90 percent of its full capacity in just 30 minutes and its full size in 48 hours. It comes with a 30-day sleep test guarantee and a 10-year warranty.

Unfortunately, not all cabs have a bed area, so if there is no space, then a trucker does not have any use for this mattress. Also, the high-density foam can be quite hot, which can be uncomfortable during the summer.

This memory foam and gel seat cushion provides comfort and pain relief. It's 19 by 16 by 3.7 inches and comes with a removable cover that's easy to clean. The cushion relieves tailbone, coccyx, and back pain. It also helps users with sciatica, herniated discs, hip pain, hemorrhoids, and spinal issues.

The gel pad helps keep you cool so you don't get hot and sweaty, and the memory foam is durable enough to withstand hours of constant use. It will not flatten out over time. It's also useful at home and in the office and doesn't shift or slide around on the seat. It comes with a built-in handle, which makes it easy to carry. The company also provides a 100-percent satisfaction guarantee.

However, the foam is easily compressible, which can make it less effective for those who are heavier weight. There have also been some complaints that it's too soft and squishes too much after sitting on it for a short period of time. Also, it doesn’t work for everyone to remove back pain.

This portable, 48-quart cooler weighs 30 pounds and is also available in 37- and 58-quart options. It holds 48 12-ounce cans of your favorite beverages. It comes with two power cables and 110V to 240V AC and 12/24V DC power inputs. An LCD screen makes it easy to operate and control the temperature. Ice is not required, and it can act as either a fridge or a freezer.

The appliance keeps everything cold and/or frozen during a trip. It's low profile enough to step over, and it's a great little unit for the money. The cooler comes with a built-in, three-stage protection system to prevent wasteful battery consumption. It is also vibration resistant. The high-density foam keeps everything insulated at the correct temperature.

One problem with this cooler is it may build up ice quickly in a high-humidity environment and require defrosting. Also, the latch may not be very durable. Another issue is it can be hard to adjust the temperature to your desired level of coldness.

The Garmin dezl OTR700, 7-inch GPS Truck Navigator includes many elements that make it easier for you to travel from point A to point B. It has a high-resolution touchscreen display and features such as custom truck routing that takes your vehicle's size and weight into consideration. The device also issues alerts based on bridge heights, sharp curves, etc.

It includes truck-friendly parking areas, a preloaded truck and trailer services directory, and load-to-dock guidance. The GPS also lets you see popular routes preferred by other truckers. It can be operated hands-free with the voice assistant feature, and it's compatible with the Garmin eLog compliant ELD, which makes sure your hours of service recording complies with federal government ELD mandates. Users like the preferred trucker paths feature as well as the ability to navigate right to the trucking dock locations at many destinations. Overall, it's user-friendly, reliable, accurate, and makes planning a trip very easy.

However, there have been some complaints that the suction cup mount isn't the best quality. Also, the menus are not very intuitive until you figure them out.

The Beats Flex Wireless Earbuds are compatible with both Apple and Android devices and provide up to 12 hours of listening time before requiring a charge. When the battery does start to drain, the device’s 10-minute Fast Fuel charging provides 1.5 hours of additional playback. These magnetic earbuds automatically play music when they're in your ears and pause when they're around your neck.

They come with four eartip options and a USB-C to USB-C charging cable. You can control music, calls, and voice assistant on the device, which features Class 1 Bluetooth with an extended range. Other features include a built-in microphone with wind reduction, audio sharing, and an Apple W1 headphone chip. Users like that they provide good audio, magnetically attach to themselves, and charge quickly.

One downside is that they don't come with a case. Also, the controls are a little small, so they can be a little hard to manipulate, particularly if you're wearing gloves.
