The ideal accessories and parts can make your semi-truck more versatile and help you perform your transportation jobs more efficiently. Having enough supplies and accessories can also increase your overall comfort level while on the road, making your trip more enjoyable. There are many accessories out there, and it can be tricky knowing which ones to get. Here is a handy list of must-have accessories for the truck driver in your life.
Tool Box
Whether you need to store tools for maintaining your semi-truck or carry a basic set around for emergencies, a toolbox is a great way to increase your truck’s storage space so you can bring some extra necessities like a first-aid kit. While a toolbox is becoming a standard feature in many trucks, it’s easy to add to a vehicle that doesn’t have one.
Cooler or Mini-Fridge
Truckers spend a lot of time out on the road, and they often don’t have time to stop and get something to eat. Also, stopping for food multiple times can get expensive when you are away from home for several days at a time. Mini-fridges and coolers allow you to keep food fresh, so you can stock up on groceries or keep leftovers fresh for a later meal.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Your tires support the weight of your freightliner, so it’s vital that you maintain your tires and keep the pressure level. You can manually check your tires by using a tire pressure gauge to ensure no leaks. But, another method is installing a tire pressure monitoring system that allows you to see information on the tire pressure and temperature whenever you want.
Universal Chargers
When your phone battery dies, you can not afford to waste time looking for a charger. Having a universal charger in your cabin ensures that none of your devices ever run out of power. You will no longer have to worry about being stranded on the side of the road without a way to call for help.
Flashlight
It’s easy to underestimate the value of a good flashlight; until you are stuck in the dark. Whether you need to change a tire or simply need assistance if you are stuck on the highway, a flashlight can save the situation. A pen-sized light is handy to keep on your person, but bigger and brighter models can be perfect for keeping in your truck.
