Christmas Gifts For Truckers | CDLjobs.comLet’s face it, truck drivers can be hard to shop for.

They often don’t have time to enjoy typical gifts, or the nature of their career simply doesn’t allow them to use items that other people use every day.

Truckers may be hard to shop for, but they’re not impossible. Take a look at some of our suggestions and you might discover the perfect gift for your favorite truck driver.

Gift Ideas for Truckers

Travel Coffee Mugs
No matter what types of activities or hobbies your trucker enjoys, you can find the perfect travel coffee mug for a great gift. Maybe they enjoy the outdoors and would love a travel mug with a deer, pheasant, or fish. Do they have a favorite sports team? There are plenty of mugs with teams and sports figures from the NFL, NASCAR, MLB, and college sports. You can even find mugs from music, movies, television, and more, or you can personalize a travel mug with their name or a special message.

Seat Cushions and Seat Warmers
When you are on the road for hours upon hours, it helps to have a comfy seat. You can shop for a soft seat cushion or find a heated seat and back warmer to help them stay comfortable for thousands of miles. The back warmer could even be a great idea for a truck driver who has a sore back, as the heat can help relieve pain and tension.

Touchscreen Gloves
If your driver is using a smartphone to communicate with a warehouse or find directions, touchscreen gloves might be exactly what they want. When the weather gets colder, it can be a real struggle to remove gloves, use your phone or GPS system, and then put your gloves back on, only to receive a phone call right away. Make their lives easier by giving them handy touchscreen gloves this holiday season.

Tools, Tools, Tools
This might not seem as fun and exciting (at least to some people) as personalized coffee mugs and nifty gloves, but having all the right tools can make a big difference to a trucker. Wrench sets, screw drivers, sockets; if it’s in the tool section at your hardware store, there’s a good chance a truck driver will find a use for it. Even everyday tools like a reliable flashlight or pocket knife could be on your trucker’s wish list.

Audio Books
The trucker in your life doesn’t have to be an avid reader to enjoy an audio book. Like travel coffee mugs, you can find books on practically any topic: hunting, business, sports, finance, history, science, technology, or even truck driving! No matter what subjects they are interested in, it is practically impossible that someone hasn’t written a book on it, then turned that book into a CD.

Find the Perfect Gift this Season!

We hope our little list of gift suggestions was enough to get you started with some ideas for your shopping list.

Whether you are looking for something fun, something useful, or something that will make them feel healthy and happy, there are millions of gift choices out there for the trucker in your life.
