Good packaging is half the battle
Search the Internet for gadgets and amusing ideas for truck drivers and you will be spoiled for choice. If you are in the mood and you have the time you can dive ever deeper into the mountain of products on offer. You will soon notice that caps and t-shirts with different slogans are still the most popular items. The same is true for the huge choice of signs, stickers, badges and cards that are designed for truckers and their fans in mind. Articles like name chains, coffee cups or truck models of all types also always sell well. The gift wrap with truck motifs was new to us in this sector. Gifts do need to be wrapped in matching designer paper.
Individual items for home sweet home
Mobile phones are essential to life these days. There are phone cases on offer that have been specifically designed for truck drives with different slogans and motifs – just the thing for the truck. Sofa cushions are vital too. These are also available with cute slogans like ‘I am the special someone of a special trucker’. And finally, the children’s bedroom would not be complete without a truck-shaped bed, as well as the right toy car: ‘papa’s truck’ in miniature.
Kitchen equipment for the road
If you still don’t have a colour reverse camera in your vehicle you can find a set for as little as 99 Euros. Hungry? No problem: small electric ovens for the driver’s cab make it easy to prepare small, hot dishes. And a truck microwave (a microwave oven that will survive being rocked and shaken on Germany’s roads), sandwich maker and gas stove are also available. Specially tailored tables and shelves are on offer for all vehicle brands so that no crumbs land on your personalised cab carpet (yes, you can order that too).
For a relaxed evening
And what does a truck driver do in his or her rest period or in the evenings at the service station? They make themselves comfortable and equip the driver’s cab accordingly. For example, with matching seat covers or an elegant artificial leather interior. Curtains are a must and there is even bedding for a dreamy night in exciting designs. And don’t forget a television or laptop.
It has to be fun
There are many versions of gadgets for the truck. The most important thing is: it has to be fun and benefit the driver’s wellbeing. Why not ask your boss what he thinks of it! Or how much individualism he wants his drivers have on the road.
