Those who have just joined the truck industry, whether as independent contractors or managers of a fleet, need to ensure that their commercial trucks are geared up to keep drivers comfortable and safe. A well-outfitted truck will help to make your business more successful, but it can be hard to know what accessories to invest in when you’re new to the game. This guide from DeBary Truck Sales will help you to get the commercial truck accessories you need.

Upgrading Your Cab

There are several accessories you’ll want to have in your truck cab to keep you comfortable and prepared to handle life on the road, including: 

  • Sunglasses: The glare from the sun while you’re driving can be dangerous, as it can cause it to be more difficult to see the road, in addition to the damage that ultraviolet light can do to your eyes over time. UV-protective sunglasses will protect your vision and help you to see more easily on a bright day.
  • Toiletries: Keeping up with your hygiene on the road will be a cinch when you’ve got a bag of toiletries, including a razor, deodorant, toothbrush and toothpaste, travel shampoo and hand sanitizer, along with any other items you regularly use.
  • Multi-Tool: When you need to fix something quickly, a folding multi-tool in your glovebox can be a lifesaver.
  • Auxiliary Cord: Plug your phone into your truck’s stereo system so you can listen to audiobooks, podcasts and your favorite music playlists while you drive. A USB cord can help you keep your phone charged up.
  • GPS Unit: Determine the quickest and easiest route to your next destination and figure out ways around traffic jams and road construction with a GPS unit.
  • Work Gloves: When you’re loading and unloading cargo, you can injure your hands without sturdy work gloves for protection. A set of insulated gloves.

On the Outside

The exterior of your truck can also benefit from some accessories to make your driving safer and your work easier. Here are some things you may want to get:

  • Mud Flaps: This classic truck accessory does serve a purpose: mud flaps prevent your truck’s big wheels from kicking mud and water onto the cars following behind you.
  • Good Mirrors: Being able to see the road around you is essential as a truck driver, so you may want to invest in larger convex mirrors instead of your truck’s standard side mirrors to give you more of a vantage point of what’s going on around you.
  • Brighter Lights: Adding more lights to your truck helps to make it more visible to others on the road at night.
