With all the time you spend on the road around Columbus, it’s safe to say that your truck cab is a lot like a second home.

Read on to explore just a few of the truck driver supplies and accessories available to order at International Used Truck Center.

Must-Have Professional Truck Driver Accessories

For any professional truck driver, accessories like these are very useful when it comes to staying focused and comfortable on the job:

Polarizing Sunglasses — More a necessity than an accessory, a quality pair of polarizing sunglasses prevents headaches, eye strain, and fatigue. Be sure to stash extras in case your current pair gets lost or broken on the road.
Seat Cushion — A memory foam seat cushion can provide hours of comfort, and help to keep your back muscles and spine properly aligned.
Leather Work Gloves — Many truck drivers choose leather cowboy gloves for their all-day comfort and breathability. This is another item you want to back up with extras!
First Aid Kit — Most trucks come with a basic first aid kit stashed in the cab, but you may want to upgrade with a newer, more comprehensive kit.
Laptop Mount — Laptop mounts keep your laptop nearby and off the floor, providing easier access to your records and route info.

Professional Truck Driver Accessories for Your Next All-Nighter

If some or all of your driving is long-distance, it’s a good idea to invest in professional truck driver accessories that enhance your cab’s sleeping amenities. Many drivers keep warm year-round with accessories like:

Electric Blanket — Sleeping in your cab in January? One of our top winter driving tips is to stow an eclectic blanket, which will warm you up fast even if you’re parked in a cold front.
Mattress and Bedding — Whether you’re camped for the night or catching a 3-hour nap, there’s no reason to lose sleep over your bedding. A proper bed will improve the quality of your sleep, too — a real advantage when you face a full day of driving the next morning.
Shower Kit — A compact kit that contains toiletries and grooming aids will help you to stay fresh and focused through hot summer days.
Slow Cooker — Finding a healthy and filling meal on the road can be a challenge. With a compact slow-cooker, you can cook while you drive, enjoy your meal, and rinse the cooker insert.
Minifridge — Keep your beverages ice-cold, or store healthy snacks like fruit, vegetables, sandwiches, and more.
