Our Top 2019 Christmas Gift Picks For Truck Drivers

It’s that time of the year folks! Bells are ringing, children are singing, truck drivers are BRINGING all of the presents from near and far!

Christmas is a special time for all, but the real MVP (a.k.a, the real Santa) of the season are the truck drivers and logistics companies making sure every gift is delivered safely and on time.

If you have a special logistics professional in your life, why not show them how much you appreciate their contributions by giving them a gift they will love and use? With our list of logistics approved gifts, your loved one will be hitting the road with a new pep in the step!

1. Mini Fridge: When the stomach starts rumbling on the highway, but a truck driver is in a race against time to make a delivery, a mini fridge is a life saver. With this gift, your road warrior always has snacks and beverages on hand without having to stop.

2. Sunglasses: We’re not talking about a cheap pair of sunglasses from the gas station, or those fancy Gucci ones either! Opt for durable, polarized sunglasses that save tired eyes from being blinded by the sun. Having quality glasses is a must for truck drivers, who need to stay focused at all times.

3. Seat Cushion: Long hours on the road means too much sitting. For a truck driver, it’s important to make periodic stops in order to stretch and move those muscles. When that’s not possible, a padded seat cushion can help alleviate stiff muscles and a sore bum.

4. Swiss Army Knife: If your logistics pro doesn’t already have this, then it’s a must! With so many different tools in one, your loved one will end up using it more than they think.

5. First-Aid Kit: This is one of those gifts that people don’t generally think about, but it shows thoughtfulness and it is important to have on hand in case of an emergency. 

6. Travel Blanket: A heated blanket is wonderful when winter trips take truck drivers into below freezing temperatures. With a travel blanket, they can always stay warm! All you do is plug it into a 12-volt power outlet and it heats up in a few minutes.
